8-position right-angle header for board-to-wire
The 3-794620-8: This is an 8-position, dual-row header from the Micro MATE-N-LOK series, designed for board-to-cable/wire applications. The shrouded 4-wall housing with a locking ramp protects the male pins and provides a positive latch against the mating receptacle — useful in equipment where vibration or accidental pull could separate an unlatched header. Board locks on the through-hole tails anchor the header to the PCB during soldering and resist shear from the cable after assembly.
30 µinch gold on the mating face
The solder posts are tin-plated at 100.0 µinch, which is standard for wave-solder wetting. Current rating varies by wire gauge — the limiting factor is the terminal and wire size, not the header itself.
8 positions vs 6 and 2 in the same footprint
The 3-794620-8 shares the same 3.00 mm pitch, row spacing, gold plating, and locking ramp with the 6-position 3-794620-6 and the 2-position 3-794620-2.
