5-position, 2.50 mm pitch — board layout fit
The 2299683-5 is a single-row, 5-position header from TE's Economy Power 2.5 series, with a 0.098" (2.50 mm) mating pitch that sets the PCB footprint. Rated 4.2 A per contact at 250 VAC, with tin-on-tin contact finish (80.0 µin / 2.03 µm on both mating and post sides). Tin plating is cost-effective for moderate-cycle applications — expect 50-100 mating cycles before contact resistance starts to drift. Housing is UL94 V-0 rated thermoplastic, natural color, with an insulation height of 0.346" (8.79 mm).
Mates with Economy Power 2.5 receptacle housings
Use TE's 2.50 mm pitch crimp terminals (tin or gold, depending on cycle-life requirement) with 20-24 AWG wire. Confirm the receptacle part number against your harness drawing — the 5-circuit single-row receptacle is the direct mate.
