What the 3.96 mm Pitch and 7.5 A Rating Mean for Your Board
The 6-1123723-7: The 0.156 inch (3.96 mm) pitch is wider than the common 2.54 mm signal header — that gives you more room between traces on the board, but the connector body itself is physically larger, so check the keep-out zone around the header. At 7.5 A per contact and 250 VAC, this header sits above the 3 A signal class — it's rated for moderate power loads like lighting ballasts or industrial control panels, not for high-current busbar work. For higher shock, you'd want a latch holder or screw lock.
That means TE still manufactures it, and long-term BOM planning is straightforward.
Through-hole solder termination — the 0.146 inch (3.70 mm) post length fits standard 1.6 mm PCBs with enough protrusion for a reliable solder fillet.
The 1376366-8 is an 8-position right-angle header with a 4-wall shroud and latch holder, rated 5 A — it's a higher-retention, lower-current sibling. If your BOM needs 8 positions and a right-angle orientation, that part is the closer match; if you need 7 positions vertical, this one fits.
