Right-angle header for wire-to-board harnesses
The 2-1445054-4 is a 4-position, single-row header from TE's Micro MATE-N-LOK series, designed for board-to-cable/wire connections. Its 3.00 mm pitch and right-angle through-hole orientation suit it for harness termination on space-constrained PCBs where the cable exits parallel to the board. The shrouded - 4 wall design protects the male pins from damage during handling and guides the mating receptacle into alignment. A locking ramp on the housing provides audible feedback when fully mated, resisting vibration-induced disconnect in industrial or mobile equipment.
Board lock and contact plating for reliable assembly
Integrated board locks anchor the header to the PCB during wave soldering, reducing tombstoning and improving shear-force resistance from cable strain after assembly. Tin plating is cost-effective for moderate mating-cycle applications (typically 25-50 cycles) and works well in dry indoor environments; for higher cycle counts or corrosive atmospheres, gold-plated siblings in the series are preferred.
