Overview

The TE Connectivity 2-178136-2 is a 3-position, 5.08mm centerline vertical PCB mount header from the Dynamic 3000 Series, designed for reliable wire-to-board connections in industrial, automotive, and telecommunications applications. This fully shrouded header features gold-plated contacts for superior electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance, ensuring long-term signal integrity in demanding environments. Engineered for through-hole solder mounting, the 2-178136-2 provides a secure mechanical and electrical connection with a 5.08mm (0.2 inch) pitch, enabling precise alignment on PCBs. The vertical mounting configuration optimizes space efficiency in compact electronic designs while maintaining robust interconnect performance. With a fully shrouded design, this header protects against misalignment and accidental short circuits, enhancing system reliability. Ideal for applications requiring high-density mounting, the Dynamic 3000 Series headers are widely used in industrial automation, control systems, and consumer electronics where consistent electrical performance is critical. The gold plating ensures low contact resistance and resistance to oxidation, making it suitable for both low and high-frequency signal applications. The through-hole solder termination provides a strong bond to the PCB, resisting vibration and mechanical stress in dynamic environments. Key specifications include: 3 positions, 5.08mm centerline, gold-plated contacts, through-hole solder termination, and vertical PCB mounting. The UNSPSC code 39121432 classifies this as a wire-to-board connector, and the product is manufactured in the US. This header is a cost-effective solution for engineers seeking a durable, high-performance interconnect component for precision electronic assemblies.
