Product details

2.50mm pitch, 8-position, single-row header with latch holder

It carries 8 positions in a single row on a 2.50mm pitch — the pitch sets the board footprint and the per-contact current ceiling, which here varies by wire gauge. Rated for operation from -30°C to 105°C and 50V, this header suits general-purpose applications in industrial control, consumer appliances, and automotive interior environments where a reliable, keyed connection is needed.

Through-hole solder termination with board guide

Contact material is copper alloy, and the insulation is red thermoplastic.

Frequently asked questions

Is 8-1971798-3 compatible with the Grace Inertia series?

Yes, the 8-1971798-3 is part of the TE Grace Inertia (GIC) series. It mates with the corresponding Grace Inertia receptacle housing and uses the standard GIC crimp terminals. The latch holder on this header engages with the receptacle latch for a secure connection.

What is the pitch of 8-1971798-3?

The mating pitch is 0.098" (2.50mm). This is the center-to-center spacing between adjacent pins, and it determines the PCB footprint and the mating receptacle pitch.

Is 8-1971798-3 through hole or surface mount?

Through hole.
