What it is and where it sits in the Sabre 43160 series
Key ratings and what they mean for selection
Right-angle through-hole mount with board lock. The board lock feature anchors the header during wave solder reflow and resists connector shift under mating force. Locking ramp provides a positive retention step on the mating side — the ramp locks the receptacle into the header so it does not back out under vibration, a meaningful detail for panel-side and harness-side power interconnects. The insulator is black, which is standard for this series and helps visual differentiation in multi-connector assemblies. Packaged in tray — standard for through-hole power headers but confirm feeder compatibility if you are automating placement.
Sourcing posture and procurement check
Listed as Active with ROHS3 Compliant status. No official L* successor or cross-reference order code is on record for this part. Confirm the 5-position count matches your BOM line before committing — the Sabre 43160 series spans multiple position counts, so a sister position-count variant in the same series is the only part worth evaluating as a direct alternative.
Mating half
Header, Male Blades — mates with the matching Sabre 43160 series receptacle housing. The locking ramp on the header and the corresponding latch feature on the receptacle housing together govern the retention force of the mated pair. Confirm the housing's contact rating and wire-range match your harness before specifying.
