3.00mm pitch, 8-position, right-angle SMT — board-fit anchor
The 3-794628-8: This is an 8-position, dual-row header from TE's Micro MATE-N-LOK series, with a 3.00mm mating pitch and 3.00mm row spacing. The right-angle SMT orientation places the connector parallel to the board, saving z-height in tight enclosures — a common choice for board-edge cable exits in general-purpose equipment. The shrouded 4-wall housing protects the male pins during handling and guides the mating receptacle into alignment. A locking ramp on the header engages with the receptacle latch for vibration-resistant mating — the connection stays mated under moderate shock and cable pull.
Gold mating finish — 15.0µin — cycle life and corrosion margin
The brass contact material provides a good balance of conductivity and spring properties for the crimp beam.
