1.50mm pitch 18-position vertical header with detent lock
The 3-292207-8 is an 18-position, single-row vertical header from the TE Mini CT series, on a 1.50mm pitch. It is shrouded on all four walls and uses a detent lock for positive retention with the mating housing. The header mates with a Mini CT receptacle housing (sold separately) and accepts the corresponding crimp terminals — it's three parts, not one. The 1.50mm pitch is tight enough for compact board layouts but still allows hand-routing of traces between pads on a standard PCB. Rated for 50VAC, with current capacity that varies by the wire gauge used in the mating terminal — the limiting factor is the wire, not the header contact.
Sourcing and lifecycle status
Sourced to order against your BOM quantity — confirm the position count and the mating half before committing. No stock-holding claim; availability and current pricing confirmed at quote time.
Board fit and termination details
Through-hole mounting with kinked solder pins: the contact post length is 0.118" (3.00mm) and the overall contact length is 0.307" (7.80mm). The 0.272" (6.91mm) insulation height provides clearance for the mating housing latch. A built-in board guide aids alignment during soldering, and the glass-filled nylon housing carries a UL94 V-0 flammability rating for equipment inside an enclosure.
