The 770872-1 is a 2-position, single-row, through-hole solder header from the TE Mini-Universal MATE-N-LOK series. It mates with the corresponding Mini-Universal MATE-N-LOK receptacle to create a wire-to-board connection rated at 600VAC.
Pitch, shrouding, and locking for reliable mating
The 4.14mm pitch (0.163") is a standard Mini-Universal MATE-N-LOK dimension, ensuring compatibility with the series' receptacle housings and crimp terminals. This is particularly relevant in industrial equipment and appliances where the connector may be subject to mechanical stress. The board lock feature is a plastic or metal peg that snaps into the PCB during insertion, holding the header in place before and during soldering. This prevents the header from floating out of position during wave solder and provides additional mechanical retention against cable pull forces.
