Right-Angle SMT Header for Compact Board Layouts
A built-in board guide provides alignment during assembly, helping to protect the signal pins during blind-mate or automated pick-and-place operations.
Termination is solder, and the mounting type is Surface Mount, Right Angle. For the board layout engineer, this means the header reflows alongside other SMT components in a single pass — no wave-solder step needed.
Comparing Packaging: 2294415-2 vs. 2227302-3
The only peer listed for this part is 2227302-3, which shares the same series, position count, and functional specs. The difference is packaging: the 2294415-2 ships in a Tray, while 2227302-3 ships in a Box. For a high-volume SMT line, tray-fed pick-and-place is standard; box packaging may require a different feeder or bowl setup. This is a logistics consideration, not a functional substitution — both parts are electrically and mechanically identical on the board.
