2.00 mm Pitch, Right-Angle, Shrouded — Board-Edge Fit
The 2-292173-2: For a 2-position header the pitch is not tight, but it matches the CT series receptacle family, so the board layout must align with that standard. The 4-wall shroud (0.228 inch insulation height) surrounds the male pins, protecting them during handling and guiding the mating receptacle into alignment.
Tin-Plated Contacts — Signal-Duty, Moderate Cycle Life
In a corrosive or high-humidity environment, tin can oxidize over time, increasing contact resistance; gold would be the better choice for repeated reconnects or harsh atmospheres. Square male pins (0.165 inch mating length) provide a reliable contact interface with the CT series crimp receptacle terminals. The brass contact material carries adequate conductivity for signal-level currents.
UL94 V-0 Housing and Solder Retention
No through-hole anchor is needed.
The base product number is 292173, and the full order code 2-292173-2 is the specific SMD right-angle variant.
