Right-angle SMT header for board-edge wire-to-board
The 3-794629-2 is a 2-position, 2-row header from the Micro MATE-N-LOK series, designed for board-to-cable/wire applications. Its surface-mount, right-angle orientation places the mating interface parallel to the PCB, ideal for tight enclosures where vertical clearance is limited. The shrouded 4-wall housing protects the male pins during handling and guides the mating receptacle into alignment, reducing the risk of bent contacts during assembly.
Locking ramp and gold contacts for field reliability
A locking ramp on the header provides audible and tactile feedback when mated with the corresponding Micro MATE-N-LOK receptacle, securing the connection against vibration in industrial or automotive environments. Mating contacts are gold-plated to 30.0µin (0.76µm), supporting repeated mating cycles without corrosion — a practical choice for field-serviceable equipment where connectors are disconnected and reconnected during maintenance.
