Tin-Plated Contacts Rated for Fixed-Installation Duty
Rated at 250 VAC and 4.2 A per contact, the header suits low-to-moderate power distribution within an enclosure. The glow wire compliant rating (per IEC 60335-1) makes it suitable for household appliances and lighting where the connector must withstand a specified thermal fault condition without igniting.
It is ROHS3 compliant.
Position Count vs. Pitch: 20 Circuits at 2.50 mm
Compared to the 3-position peer 1-2232960-3 (same Economy Power 2.5 series, 0.098" pitch, locking ramp), this 20-position header offers a higher circuit count for applications requiring more I/O in a single connector. The friction lock vs. locking ramp is a different retention mechanism — both provide vibration resistance, but the friction lock engages without an audible click and releases with a straight pull. Against the 11-position CT series header 1-292164-1 (0.079" pitch, detent lock, right-angle option), this part uses a wider 2.50 mm pitch that relaxes PCB routing density but allows higher current per contact (4.2 A vs. wire-gauge-dependent current). The choice between them depends on the board space budget and the current per circuit required.
