Right-Angle 2.00 mm Pitch, 7 Positions — Board Layout Fit
Tin-Plated Contacts and Current Rating
Both the mating and post finishes are tin. Tin-plated contacts are cost-effective for moderate mating-cycle applications and are well-suited to environments without corrosive gases.
Peer Comparison — 1-292164-1 (11-Position Variant)
The closest functional sibling within the CT series is 1-292164-1: same 2.00 mm pitch, right-angle orientation, detent lock, and tin finish, but with 11 positions and a 4-wall shroud instead of 3-wall. The 4-wall shroud provides additional pin protection on the outer row, which matters if the connector sits near a board edge where side impact is possible. For a 7-position BOM line, 292253-7 is the correct circuit count; the 11-position variant is a drop-in alternative only if the extra four positions can be left unpopulated.
