The 3-641126-8: This is an 8-position, single-row header from the MTA-100 series, on 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch — a standard spacing for wire-to-board interconnects in control panels, appliances, and general-purpose electronics. The shrouded 1-wall design and friction lock keep the mating receptacle seated under vibration, which matters more than the raw pin count for field reliability.
This is a single-row, 8-position header. Pin 1 is typically marked by a triangle or chamfer on the housing. The friction lock is on the same side as the shroud wall — orient the mating receptacle so the lock ramp engages that wall.
