4-Pin SMD Header for Wire-to-Board Duty
The 292172-4: This is a 4-position, single-row header from TE's CT series, pitched at 2.00mm and terminated via surface-mount solder tails. The shrouded 3-wall design with a detent lock keeps the mated pair aligned under vibration — a common demand in general-purpose wire-to-board connections where the cable sees movement.
SMT Footprint and Housing Specs
The header uses a black PA6T (glass-filled) insulator rated UL94 V-0, and the contacts are brass with tin plating on both the mating surface and the solder post. Current rating is a function of the wire gauge used on the mating side — the header itself does not impose a fixed ampacity limit. Mating pin length is 4.50mm, and the insulation height above the PCB is 7.80mm — a compact profile for board-edge placement in enclosures with limited z-height.
