What this 24-pin Micro-MaTch receptacle does
The 2-338069-4: This is a 24-position, dual-row receptacle from TE's Micro-MaTch series, pitched at 0.100" (2.54mm) — the standard spacing for breadboard and prototyping layouts, but also found in production automotive and general-purpose board-to-board or cable assemblies.
Compared to the 12-position sibling 1-2823056-2, this part doubles the circuit count while keeping the same pitch, row spacing, and tin plating — a direct BOM swap if the board layout has the extra footprint length. The 5.30 mm insulation height is typical for a shrouded SMD receptacle; confirm the mating header's stack height clears the enclosure lid or adjacent components.
CT works for prototypes or low-volume builds.
