The 8-215464-6: Rated at 1.5A per contact at 230V, this header suits low-power signal and control circuits. The tin-plated mating surface (3.00µm thickness) provides reliable contact for moderate mating cycles in indoor equipment.
Termination and Mounting Options
Press-fit is preferred for solderless backplane assembly where rework is needed; solder provides a stronger mechanical bond for cable harnesses. The 0.122-inch (3.10mm) post length is compatible with standard 1.6mm PCBs, leaving enough tail for wave or selective soldering.
Comparison with Peer Headers
Compared to the 4-1775099-7 (ATX series, 20 positions, 4.20mm pitch, 9A), the 8-215464-6 offers a finer pitch and lower current — better for dense signal routing, not for power distribution. The 1-292164-1 (CT series, 11 positions, 2.00mm pitch, single row) is a right-angle option for board-edge connections, while this header is vertical through-hole. For a drop-in replacement, confirm the mating half and footprint before substituting.
