The 8-188275-8: The forked contact design mates with square or rectangular pins of matching pitch. Rated 100 VDC, the connector suits low-voltage signal and power distribution in automotive and general-purpose equipment.
SMT assembly and pick-and-place readiness
Tin-plated solder tails are compatible with standard reflow profiles.
Cross-shop: 1-2823056-2 vs 8-188275-8
The closest functional sibling is 1-2823056-2 — a 12-position, black-housing version of the same Micro-MaTch receptacle. Both share the 0.100" pitch, dual-row layout, tin-plated forked contacts, SMD termination, and 100 V rating. The difference is position count (12 vs 18) and housing color (black vs red). For a BOM needing 18 circuits, 8-188275-8 is the direct fit.
