At 3 A per contact, the total current ceiling across all pins is limited by the pin density and the 30 µinch gold mating finish, not the copper alloy pin itself. ## Gold on the mating face, tin on the tail The contact finish is split: 30 µinch gold over nickel on the mating surface, 100 µinch tin on the solder post. The tin post wets well in wave or hand solder and matches standard through-hole assembly. Listed as Active in production and RoHS Compliant. The closest peer in the same family is 1-1871673-2 — a 4-position, shrouded header with a detent lock and right-angle orientation. The 6-146257-5 gives you 30 positions on the classic 0.100\" grid with gold-on-tin contacts, so it fits a higher-density signal board where the unshrouded profile saves board-edge clearance.","metaTitle":"6-146257-5 TE Connectivity AMPMODU Mod II Header, 30 Pos","metaDescription":"6-146257-5 TE Connectivity AMPMODU Mod II breakaway header, 30 positions, 0.100\" pitch, gold mating finish, 3 A per contact.
