1-794682-8

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part number 1-794682-8 is a vertical pin header connector belonging to the Micro MATE-N-LOK series. It features an 8-position configuration with a 3mm (0.118 inch) mating pitch and a 3mm row spacing. The connector utilizes two rows of square male pins designed for through-hole termination on printed circuit boards. The housing is constructed from black polyamide (PA, nylon) insulation rated UL94 V-0 for flammability. Contact surfaces are finished with gold or gold-palladium plating to ensure reliable electrical performance.
