8.00 mm Pitch Right-Angle SMT Header for Board-Edge Power
The 2318136-6: This 6-position header from the TE WireMate and Buchanan series uses a 0.315" (8.00 mm) pitch — wide enough to carry moderate power per contact without crowding the board trace routing. The LCP (Liquid Crystal Polymer) housing with glass fill holds up to reflow soldering and resists creep at elevated temperatures.
Board Guide and SMT Alignment for Reliable Assembly
For a right-angle header, that guide is a practical addition — without it, the mated cable's leverage can fatigue the solder fillets over time. The insulation height of 0.252" (6.40 mm) gives clearance for the blade pins above the board surface, and the single-level design keeps all six positions in one row for straightforward routing.
