A detent lock holds the pair mated — useful in equipment that sees occasional vibration or movement. Tin is a reliable choice for moderate mating cycles (50-100 cycles typical) in indoor, non-corrosive environments.
Overall contact length is 9.09mm, with the mating pin length at 4.20mm. That 4.20mm engagement depth ensures the receptacle contact fully wipes the pin surface for a stable electrical connection.
Peer Comparison — 1-292164-1 (Right-Angle, 11 Positions)
The closest sibling in the CT series is the 1-292164-1 — same 2.00mm pitch, same shrouded 4-wall, same detent lock, same tin finish. The key difference: the 1-292164-1 is a right-angle through-hole header with 11 positions, while the 292132-2 is vertical with 2 positions. Choose the right-angle version when the board edge or enclosure height limits the connector z-height.
