This makes it suitable for applications where vibration could otherwise work a connection loose. Rated at 50VAC and a current that varies by wire gauge, this header is intended for general-purpose signal and low-power distribution inside an enclosure.
Pitch and footprint fit
With a 1.50 mm pitch, this header is denser than the 2.00 mm pitch found on the similar CT series header 1-292164-1. That means a smaller board footprint — useful when routing tight, but the mating half must also be 1.50 mm pitch.
