Current capacity depends on the terminal and wire

How this compares to other TE right-angle headers

Compared to the CT series 1-292164-1 (2.00 mm pitch, 11 positions, detent lock) or the.025 series 1376366-8 (2.20 mm pitch, 8 positions, latch holder), the 7.92 mm pitch of 2-178496-1 is significantly wider — this is a power-class header, not a signal-density part.
