2.00mm Pitch, 2-Position SMT Header with Shroud and Lock
The 3-292173-2: This is a 2-position, single-row header on a 2.00mm pitch, designed for wire-to-board connections. The shrouded 4-wall housing and detent lock keep the mating half aligned and latched, which matters when the cable gets tugged in a panel or enclosure. The right-angle SMT orientation means the header sits parallel to the board surface, and the cable exits along the board plane — a common layout for tight z-height budgets. Solder retention pads on the SMT feet help hold the part in place during reflow and resist shear forces from the mated cable assembly.
Mating Housing and Current Rating Reality
This header mates with TE CT series crimp receptacle housings. The 2.00mm pitch receptacle housings are keyed and use standard CT crimp terminals — confirm the circuit count and keying match your harness side. Current rating is listed as varies by wire gauge — the limiting factor is the crimp terminal and wire size, not the header pin itself. For a given wire gauge, the CT series terminal datasheet gives the derated current. Voltage rating is 125 VAC, and the housing material is rated UL94 V-0 for flame resistance.
