Right-angle SMT header for board-to-wire in tight spaces
The 2-1445057-7 is a 7-position, single-row header from the Micro MATE-N-LOK series, designed for board-to-cable/wire applications where the cable exits parallel to the PCB. Its 3.00 mm pitch leaves enough room for 20-24 AWG wire termination without crowding adjacent traces, while the right-angle SMT orientation saves vertical clearance in enclosures. The shrouded 4-wall housing with a locking ramp keeps the mated connection secure under vibration — a common need in industrial control panels and automotive interior modules. Solder retention features on the body help hold the connector in place during reflow, reducing the risk of misalignment or tombstoning on the board.
Rated for -40°C to 105°C with UL94 V-0 housing
The header carries a voltage rating of 250V and an operating temperature range of -40°C to 105°C, covering most indoor and outdoor environments without active cooling. The polyamide housing is rated UL94 V-0, so it meets the flame-retardant requirement for equipment inside an enclosure. Contact finish is 100.0 µin tin on both the mating and post sides — adequate for moderate mating cycles in a clean, dry environment. Current rating varies by wire gauge, so the limiting factor is the wire, not the contact itself.
