3.00 mm pitch SMD header — 2-position single-row
The 2-1445096-2: This is a 2-position, single-row, surface-mount header from the Micro MATE-N-LOK series. The 3.00 mm pitch sets the board footprint and the mating interface with the corresponding receptacle. The 4-wall shrouding protects the male pins during handling and guides the mating half into alignment. Gold plating on the mating face, 30 µinch thick, supports repeated connect/disconnect cycles — in a field-service application where the connector is cycled quarterly, that is decades of service life at the contact interface. The locking ramp provides a positive audible latch when mated, preventing accidental unmating under vibration or cable strain. The current rating varies by wire gauge — the limiting factor is the terminal and wire, not the header contact.
