Board-to-Cable Header for Dense Signal Interconnects
The 1-1761608-3: This 40-position, dual-row header from the AMP-Latch series mates with industry-standard 0.100" pitch IDC ribbon-cable sockets. The 4-wall shroud with a keying slot and short eject hooks keeps the cable assembly aligned and locked in place; the latch hooks pull the header and socket together positively, which matters when the harness sees vibration or routine disconnect-reconnect cycles.
Compared with the right-angle 1-1871673-2 (4 positions, 0.098" pitch, tin-plated), this vertical 40-position header serves a different density tier: the gold-plated interface here supports higher reconnect duty and a wider operating temperature range (-65°C to 105°C vs the tin-plated peer's unspecified range).
The part ships in tube packaging.
