20-position 2.54mm pitch receptacle for board-to-board or cable harness
The 9-215079-0 is a 20-position, dual-row receptacle from TE's Micro-MaTch series, designed for board-to-board or cable-to-board interconnect. Its 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and 0.100" row spacing match a standard pin header footprint, making it a direct fit for many legacy and current designs. The forked contact style with tin plating on both the mating and post sides suits applications where moderate mating cycles and cost-sensitive signal-level currents are the norm.
Through-hole termination with kinked pins for retention
Termination is kinked pin, solder — the kink provides mechanical retention in the PCB hole before wave soldering, reducing tombstoning and improving alignment during assembly. The through-hole mounting style with 0.122" (3.10mm) post length gives a reliable solder joint for boards up to 1.6mm thick. Insulation height is 0.157" (4.00mm), which sets the mated stack height when paired with a standard 2.54mm pitch header.

Mating and application fit
The push-pull fastening type means no locking latch — the retention comes from the friction of the forked contacts on the header pins. For vibration-prone environments, consider a header with a locking ramp or a secondary retention feature. The operating temperature range of -40°C to 105°C covers automotive cabin and general-purpose industrial enclosures. The red insulation colour aids visual inspection in harness assembly.
