The Amphenol 10155500-A108KLF is an 8-circuit, 2-row header in the Minitek MicroSpaceXS™ 1.27mm series, designed for board-to-cable/wire interconnects. The 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch gives it a familiar footprint for signal and moderate-power duty, while the 4 A per circuit rating at 48 V handles typical automotive and industrial loads without pushing the contact limits.
The 4 A current rating per circuit is conservative for a 2.54mm-pitch header — the limiting factor is temperature rise in the housing, not the contact beam. With an operating range of -40°C to 130°C and a UL94 V-0 thermoplastic body, this connector is comfortable in automotive underhood or industrial cabinet environments where ambient heat and flame rating are requirements. The tin-on-tin contact system (118.1 µin on the mating side, 12.0 µin on the post) is a workhorse finish — the thick mating-side plating gives good corrosion resistance and handles the mating cycle count typical of harness assembly and field service, though it won't match gold for cycle life in frequent-remate applications.
Mounting and Retention
This is a connector you can drop into a reflow line and trust to stay put through the rest of the assembly process.
