The 292251-8 is a single-row, 8-position header from TE's CT series, designed for board-to-wire connections.
Pitch, positions, and what mates with it
Both the mating and post contact finishes are tin.
Current rating and voltage — what the numbers mean
For the CT series, the limiting factor is the contact interface, not the header itself. In practice, the rating drops as the ambient temperature rises; a derating curve applies above 25°C. Voltage rating is 125 VAC, which covers most low-voltage signal and power applications inside equipment. The header is rated for general-purpose use — not for high-vibration or outdoor environments without additional sealing.
Available in bulk packaging. No official second source or direct replacement is listed — the CT series is a proprietary TE family.
