This is the workhorse part for connecting a 14-conductor ribbon cable to a DIP socket or through-hole pattern on a PCB. The dual-pitch transition — 0.050\" on the cable side to 0.100\" on the board side — is the defining feature of the AMP-Latch family, letting a dense ribbon cable fan out to a standard IC footprint. The wire gauge range is 26-30 AWG solid or 28 AWG stranded, covering the common ribbon cable sizes for logic-level signals and parallel data buses. ## What the Key Specs Mean for Your Fit The 14 positions match a 14-conductor ribbon cable one-to-one — no unused pins, no daisy-chaining. The 0.100\" board-side pitch matches the standard DIP IC footprint, so this header fits into a 14-pin DIP socket or a plated through-hole pattern on 0.100\" centers. The 0.050\" cable pitch is the standard for 28-30 AWG gray ribbon cable; the IDC termination is a one-step assembly process — the cable is laid into the slot and pressed down with a hand tool or press, which drives the fork contacts through the insulation to make contact with the conductor. The thick tin plating (118.1 µin) is suitable for environments with few mating cycles — think internal wiring in test equipment, industrial controllers, or legacy bus interfaces — but not for frequent disconnect/reconnect duty where gold would be specified.","metaTitle":"TE AMP-Latch 1-216093-4, 14-Pos DIP IDC Header","metaDescription":"TE Connectivity AMP-Latch DIP header, 14 positions, 0.100\" board pitch, IDC termination for 26-30 AWG ribbon cable.
