Product details

The 8-87579-5 is a 6-position, dual-row header from TE's AMPMODU Mod II series.

Detent lock and shrouded walls for vibration resistance

All 6 positions are loaded with square male pins, 0.318" (8.08mm) mating length — enough for a secure wipe with the receptacle contacts.

Peer comparison: 1-1871673-2 vs 8-87579-5

The 8-87579-5 gives you two extra circuits and a slightly wider pitch for routing ease. Both use tin-plated contacts and UL94 V-0 material, but the 1-1871673-2 adds a board lock feature for extra SMT reflow retention — not needed on a through-hole part like the 8-87579-5.

Frequently asked questions

What is the correct mating connector for 8-87579-5?
