Panel-Mount Mini-Drawer Receptacle, 6 Positions — 4 Signal, 2 Power
The contact layout is 4 signal circuits and 2 power circuits, all loaded, which makes this a purpose-built connector for modular rack or chassis systems that combine low-current control lines with a moderate power feed in one housing.
Mounting and Termination — Panel Fix with Solder Tails
This receptacle mounts directly to a panel cutout and terminates via solder connections — no crimp tooling required. The panel-mount style means the connector body is fixed to the chassis, and the mating half (a Mini-Drawer header, male pins and blades) slides in from the opposite side. The solder termination is a through-hole style suited for wire or PCB tail attachment, depending on the assembly method. The black housing in a tray package indicates this is a standard production part, not a sample or cut-tape variant.
Positioning in the Mini-Drawer Series
The 292180-1 sits at the low end of the Mini-Drawer receptacle range with 6 positions. A larger sibling, the 2-292185-8, is a 32-position receptacle (28 signal, 4 power) with the same panel-mount and solder termination, but only 28 positions loaded — useful when you need more signal lines in the same form factor. The 2-292236-2 is a 22-position, 2-row receptacle with a 1.50 mm pitch, also panel-mount and gold-plated, but its higher density and finer pitch suit a different board layout. For a mating header, the 1-292187-2 is an 8-position header (5 signal, 3 power) with crimp termination and a 250 V, 15 A rating — check if your power draw exceeds the header's rating before pairing.
