5-Pin 2mm Header for Wire-to-Board Harnesses
The 292161-5: It's a shrouded 3-wall vertical header with a detent lock — mates with a CT crimp receptacle for a positive, vibration-resistant connection that doesn't need tools to release. The tin-plated male pins are rated for general-purpose use; current depends on the wire gauge of the mating terminal, so check the CT crimp contact datasheet for your specific wire size.
Insulation height of 0.268" (6.80mm) means the shroud stands proud of the board; plan for clearance above the header in your enclosure.
How This Header Compares to a Right-Angle Sibling
The closest sibling in the CT series is 1-292164-1 — same 2.00mm pitch, same tin plating, same detent lock, but 11 positions and right-angle orientation. If your board edge needs a 90-degree exit or you need more circuits, that's the swap. For a straight 5-position vertical, this 292161-5 is the one.
