Product details

16-pin 2.54mm pitch vertical header with friction lock

The 281739-8: The shrouded 2-wall housing with friction lock keeps the mating receptacle secure in moderate vibration environments — a step up from unshrouded headers that rely solely on friction. Rated for board-to-cable/wire applications, the header accepts a matching HE13/HE14 receptacle (crimp or IDC) to build a wire-to-board interconnect.

RoHS3 compliant per the manufacturer.

Mates with TE HE13/HE14 series receptacles (crimp or IDC, 16-position, 2-row). Termination is through-hole solder; the square pins are 0.276" (7.00mm) mating length and 0.114" (2.90mm) post length.

Frequently asked questions

What is the mating connector for the 281739-8?

It mates with TE HE13/HE14 series receptacles in the same 16-position, 2-row, 0.100" pitch configuration. The friction lock requires a receptacle with a matching latch feature.
