Peer Alternatives — When You Need Shrouding or Different Positions
If the application requires a shrouded header with a friction lock for vibration resistance, the 953440-3 (6 positions, brown, automotive-rated) or 1379030-3 (12 positions, brown, automotive-rated) are peer options in the same 0.100" pitch family. For a shrouded 2.50 mm pitch variant with a detent lock, the 1-1871673-2 (4 positions, black, UL94 V-0) is a candidate — note the 0.098" pitch and 0.130" row spacing differ from the 0.100" standard.
