It sits in the AMP-Latch series, a long-running TE family for parallel-board and cable-to-board interconnects where the cable assembly is built with an IDC tool and then mated to the header. The header is through-hole mounted and terminates ribbon cable directly — no crimp terminals, no soldering to the cable. The gray housing includes a feed-through feature, meaning the IDC slot runs the full length of the connector so the cable can pass through and be terminated at either end, or daisy-chained. Wire gauge compatibility covers 28 AWG stranded and 26-30 AWG solid conductors — the IDC slot geometry is tuned for these sizes, so using wire outside the range risks an unreliable termination or damaged contacts. ## Board Footprint and Cable Routing The 0.100\" (2.54mm) board-side pitch matches the standard DIP IC footprint, so the header rows sit on 0.100\" centers with 0.100\" between rows — a 16-position, 2-row layout occupies an 8-pin-per-side footprint. The 0.050\" (1.27mm) cable pitch is the industry-standard spacing for 0.050\"-pitch ribbon cable, so any 16-conductor 0.050\"-pitch ribbon cable with 28 AWG stranded or 26-30 AWG solid conductors will terminate directly into this header. The through-hole mounting is straightforward for wave-solder or hand-solder assembly; no press-fit tooling required. ## How It Compares: 1-216093-6 vs 1-216791-6 The closest functional sibling is 1-216791-6, also a 16-position, 2-row AMP-Latch DIP header in gray with tin 118.1µin contacts and the same 0.050\" cable / 0.100\" board pitch. The difference is mounting: 1-216791-6 adds a press-fit option to the through-hole termination. For a board assembly line already set up for press-fit connectors — no solder, no wave — 1-216791-6 avoids the solder step. For a standard through-hole soldering process, 1-216093-6 is the direct fit. Both are active and RoHS compliant.","metaTitle":"TE AMP-Latch 1-216093-6 DIP Header, 16 Pos IDC","metaDescription":"TE Connectivity AMP-Latch 1-216093-6, 16-position DIP header for ribbon cable IDC termination. 0.050\" cable pitch, 0.100\" board pitch, tin contacts.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":"AMP-Latch","packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":"RoHS Compliant","productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Wire-to-Board Connectors","Direct Wire-to-Board"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"TE Connectivity AMP Connectors","Color":"Gray","Series":"AMP-Latch","Package":"Bulk","Features":"Feed Through","Wire Gauge":"28 AWG, Stranded; 26-30 AWG, Solid","Cable Pitch":"0.050\\\" (1.27mm)","Row Spacing":"0.100\\\" (2.54mm)","Mounting Type":"Through Hole","Connector Type":"Ribbon Cable, DIP Header","Contact Finish":"Tin","Number of Rows":"2","Product Status":"Active","lifecycle_stage":"unknown","Board-Side Pitch":"0.100\\\" (2.54mm)","Cable Termination":"IDC","Base Product Number":"216093","Number of Positions":"16","Contact Finish Thickness":"118.1µin (3.00µm)","Number of Positions Loaded":"All"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$3.5800","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$3.58000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$3.18800","currency":"USD"},{"qty":25,"price":"$3.17160","currency":"USD"},{"qty":50,"price":"$3.13920","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$2.83020","currency":"USD"},{"qty":250,"price":"$2.81392","currency":"USD"},{"qty":500,"price":"$2.60248","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1000,"price":"$2.32597","currency":"USD"},{"qty":2500,"price":"$2.14705","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icsourcedirect.com/e0cba1beac4ffb379b7c22d3e39adb88.pdf","sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the pin pitch of 1-216093-6?","answer":"The 1-216093-6 has a cable-side pitch of 0.050\" (1.27mm) and a board-side pitch of 0.100\" (2.54mm).
