What the 2-position latch holder buys you over a generic 2.5 mm header
The 2-1971800-2: The key spec for the BOM line is the latch holder fastening — it locks the mating receptacle in place, which a standard unshrouded 2.5 mm header does not.
This header mates with the Grace Inertia GIC receptacle housing (crimp or IDC). The latch holder engages the receptacle's locking ramp for a vibration-resistant connection.
