The 2-1586043-2: Rated 9 A per circuit at 600 VAC, this header handles moderate power distribution in a compact 4.20 mm pitch. The tin-plated contacts (80.0 µin on both mating and post) are suited for lower-cycle applications where cost matters more than gold's high-cycle endurance.
Locking ramp and mounting flange keep the connection tight
The mounting flange on the right-angle through-hole body takes mechanical strain off the solder joints, especially useful in industrial or lighting enclosures where cable movement is expected.
Mates with VAL-U-LOK receptacle housings
This header mates with TE VAL-U-LOK receptacle housings (e.g., 1-1586043-x series) using standard crimp terminals. The 4.20 mm pitch and 0.165" row spacing align with the full VAL-U-LOK system — confirm your receptacle part number for the correct terminal and wire gauge.
