Mounting and locking for vibration environments
The 292173-2: Surface-mount right-angle termination means the header solders to the board in one reflow pass, with solder retention features to hold it in place during wave or selective solder processes. Board guide features assist alignment during placement, reducing skew on the solder pads.
Lifecycle and sourcing for the BOM line
ROHS3 compliant, with a UL94 V-0 flame-rated housing of glass-filled PA6T nylon.
Comparing the 2-position to a higher-count sibling
The closest functional sibling in the CT series is the 1-292164-1 — same 2.00 mm pitch, same shrouded 4-wall and detent lock, but with 11 positions and through-hole right-angle mounting instead of SMD. If the board layout requires a through-hole anchor for higher mechanical strain, the 1-292164-1 is the direct alternative; for a 2-position SMD fit, the 292173-2 is the correct pick.
