The 2367197-7: Each contact is rated 1 A at 50 V, typical for signal-level circuits in control and sensor interfaces. The locking ramp provides positive retention in moderate-vibration environments, preventing accidental unmating.
HPI Series vs. Peer Alternatives
Compared to the 1-2232960-3 (3-position, 2.50 mm pitch, through-hole), the 2367197-7 offers a 1.00 mm pitch for higher routing density and SMT assembly, but with a lower current rating (1 A vs. 2 A). The 1394090-1 (6-position, 2.85 mm pitch, right-angle through-hole) uses a latch holder instead of a locking ramp and has thicker tin plating (39.4 µin) for more mating cycles. The 1-1871673-2 (4-position, 2.50 mm pitch, dual-row) is a board-to-board or cable connector with a detent lock and board lock feature, suited for higher-current applications where current varies by wire gauge. For a 7-position, 1.00 mm pitch SMT header, the 2367197-7 is the only fit in this comparison.
