The 1971845-2 is a 2-position, single-row, shrouded header from TE Connectivity's 5.00 mm pitch family. It mates with a corresponding receptacle to make a board-to-cable/wire connection.
On the wire side, the header accepts a mating receptacle that uses tab contacts. The rectangular tab shape is typical for 5.00 mm pitch connectors, and the latch holder ensures the pair stays mated under cable strain. For a 2-position connector, the pull-off force from a single cable tug is low, so the latch is a practical safeguard. Operating temperature from -40°C to 120°C covers cold storage and under-hood heat soak. The polyamide housing absorbs moisture in high-humidity environments, which can affect dimensional stability — account for this in applications with repeated thermal cycling above 85°C.
The connector ships in bulk packaging. For volume commitments or lead time, submit an RFQ — the sourcing desk will confirm availability against your target quantity.
