Board-to-Board Breakaway Header for Tight Stack Heights
2842132-4 is an 8-position, dual-row breakaway header from the TE AMPMODU series. The 2.00mm pitch and 0.079" (2.00mm) row spacing set the board footprint for a compact mezzanine or parallel-board interconnect. Rated at 2A per contact, with a 125VAC/DC voltage ceiling — the current is modest, suited for signal and low-power distribution rather than high-current bus bars. Insulation height is only 0.059" (1.50mm), keeping the overall profile low.
Pick-and-Place Ready, Through-Hole Mount
The header is packaged in a tube and is marked as pick-and-place compatible. That means the housing geometry and pin coplanarity are controlled for automated placement heads — a detail that matters when the line runs thousands of these per shift. Termination is through-hole solder. Overall contact length is 0.327" (8.30mm), with a mating pin length of 0.157" (4.00mm) — enough to engage a standard receptacle without bottoming out.
For cross-reference, peer parts include 1-1871673-2 and 1376779-2 — but these carry different position counts or plating grades, so confirm the BOM line before substituting.
