Product details

8-position, 3.96mm pitch unshrouded header

The 85829-8 is an 8-circuit, single-row unshrouded header from the AMPMODU Mod I series, with a 3.96mm (0.156") pitch that sets the board footprint and the per-contact current ceiling. The header mates with standard 0.156" pitch receptacles and accepts crimp terminals for wire-to-board or board-to-board connections.

The 3.96mm pitch and 0.125" (3.18mm) post length set the PCB drill pattern and standoff height. For a build-to-print assembly, the full BOM includes the header, the mating receptacle (e.g., TE 640526-8 or equivalent), and the corresponding crimp terminals (sold separately).

Frequently asked questions

What is the pinout and landing pattern for 85829-8?

The pinout is a single row of 8 male pins on 3.96mm (0.156") centers. The PCB footprint requires 8 plated through-holes at that pitch, with a 0.125" (3.18mm) post length for the solder tails. No polarization keying is provided by the header itself.

Does 85829-8 have a polarization or keying feature?

No. The header is unshrouded with a push-pull fastening type, so there is no mechanical keying or polarization. Orientation is determined by the PCB layout and the mating receptacle's keying, if present.
