Sizing a 5.08mm power header for a control board
The 2342083-4 is a 4-position, right-angle, shrouded header from TE Connectivity's AMP Connectors line, built for through-hole soldering on power distribution or industrial control boards. The 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch is the key dimension here—it provides the creepage distance needed to support the 300V UL rating, making this a practical choice for routing 11A per contact between a power supply and downstream loads without requiring a terminal block. The housing is black polyamide rated UL94 V-0, and the high-temp variant means it holds up through lead-free wave-solder profiles without distorting. Tin-plated contacts keep the cost down for moderate mating-cycle applications—field-service techs should note that tin frets under vibration if unmated repeatedly, so this header is best in semi-permanent or low-cycle connections inside an enclosure.
Board-fit and routing with the right-angle orientation
Right-angle orientation routes the mating wire harness parallel to the PCB—critical for keeping the z-height low inside a control cabinet or behind a panel. The contact tail length is 0.102" (2.60mm), which is standard for a 1.6mm-thick PCB; the insulation height of 0.341" (8.66mm) gives the shroud enough clearance to fully envelope the mating receptacle pins. With 4 positions in a single level, the board footprint is compact enough for tight layouts, yet the 5.08mm pitch keeps routing traces between pins straightforward without needing fine-line etching.
Sourcing and compliance for the BOM line
No official pin-compatible alternative or successor is recorded from TE Connectivity for this exact order code. For a BOM match, confirm the 5.08mm pitch and right-angle orientation—the base product number is 2342083, and the -4 suffix indicates the 4-position variant.
