The 2342079-2 is a 2-position, single-level shrouded header with a 5.00mm pitch, designed for through-hole soldering and right-angle board exit. Rated 11 A at 300 V UL, this header can carry a modest power feed or a pair of signal lines in an industrial control panel.
Where to Buy and Sourcing Reality for 2342079-2
ROHS3 Compliant per the ledger, so it meets the latest EU exemption limits for lead, mercury, and cadmium. No additional compliance documentation is needed for standard industrial equipment.
Mating and Termination: What Connects Here
This is a male pin header with a shrouded (4-side) housing, meaning the receptacle (female) connector slides into the shroud, and the shroud protects the pins from accidental shorting or bending during mating. The termination style is solder — the 0.102" (2.60mm) contact tail length is typical for standard 1.6mm thick PCBs. The insulation height of 0.341" (8.66mm) gives the mating receptacle enough clearance to latch fully. The mating half is a standard 5.00mm pitch receptacle housing (TE part numbers in the same 2342079 series family). The shrouded design is keyed — the plastic shroud has a polarisation rib that prevents reverse insertion, which is a practical safeguard on the assembly line.
