SMD Header for Wire-to-Board Duty
SMT Assembly and Board Fit
The header includes pick-and-place features and solder retention, which means it is designed for automated surface-mount assembly: the vacuum pickup pad aligns the part on the nozzle, and the solder retention holds the header in place on the board during reflow.
The 2-1445087-8 is SMD, straight, with gold mating finish and 8 positions — a different board placement and a higher cycle-life contact interface. The 1-292164-1 from the CT series uses 2.00 mm pitch and 11 positions — a finer pitch and higher circuit count, but a different mating interface and latch style. None of these peers are pin-compatible with the 2-1445087-8 without a board layout change.
