Product details

2.00mm Pitch, 8-Position Shrouded Header — Right-Angle for Board-Edge Routing

The 2842168-8: This is an 8-position, 2-row header from the TE AMPMODU series, pitched at 2.00mm on both row and column spacing.

Mates with AMPMODU 2.00mm crimp-socket receptacles and IDC connectors sharing the same pitch and row spacing. The 0.098-inch (2.50mm) post length accepts standard PCB thicknesses in the 1.6mm range; the 0.145-inch (3.70mm) mating pin length engages the receptacle contact beam fully. Termination is solder to through-hole — no press-fit or SMT. The tin-plated post (78.7µinch) solders reliably with standard wave or hand-solder profiles. The header accepts male pin contacts (square, copper alloy) — the mating half uses female crimp terminals. Confirm the BOM's receptacle part number matches the 2.00mm AMPMODU footprint.

Frequently asked questions

What is the mating connector for the 2842168-8?

The 2842168-8 mates with AMPMODU 2.00mm pitch receptacles that accept crimp-socket or IDC terminals — any 2-row, 8-position receptacle sharing the 2.00mm row spacing and pin layout. Confirm the receptacle's keying and lock feature match the detent lock on this header.
