2.00mm pitch SMT header for wire-to-board duty
The 292174-3 is a 3-position, single-row, shrouded header from TE's CT series, designed for Board to Cable/Wire interconnects. It uses a 2.00mm pitch and surface-mount termination, with a detent lock for secure mating. The 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch keeps the footprint compact for low-density signal routing, while the 4-wall shrouding protects the male pins during handling and mis-mate events.
Mating and termination checklist
Mates with the matching CT series crimp receptacle housing (e.g., 3-position, 2.00mm pitch). The header's tin-plated mating surface suits moderate mating-cycle applications — gold plating would extend cycle life, but tin is cost-effective for field-assembled harnesses where the connector is mated once or twice. SMT solder tails with board guide and solder retention features help align the part during reflow and resist shear forces from cable strain.
