It mates with a matching MTA-100 receptacle to make a board-to-cable/wire connection.
How the 2-644486-2 compares to nearby MTA-100 siblings
If your BOM calls for a 2-position single-row, the 2-644486-2 is the correct part — the pitch difference alone means the 1-1871673-2 won't fit the same PCB layout. Peer 953440-3 is a 6-position, dual-row, right-angle header with a mounting flange and board guide — it's for automotive use (12 V rating) and has a UL94 HB housing. The 2-644486-2 is a vertical through-hole part with a different orientation and a higher voltage rating (250 VAC).
