The TE Connectivity AMP-Latch 1-216093-0 is a 10-position DIP header designed for mass-termination IDC ribbon cable. This is the 10-circuit member of the AMP-Latch series, commonly used in internal board-to-cable interconnects where a parallel bus or signal distribution needs a reliable, solderless cable termination.
Key Specs for the Board Fit
The through-hole mounting gives a solid mechanical anchor for the cable strain that pulls on the header during assembly or service. Wire acceptance covers 28 AWG stranded and 26-30 AWG solid conductors. The IDC termination pierces the insulation without stripping, so the cable preparation is just a square cut across the ribbon. This is not a high-cycle mating interface; the header is designed to stay terminated.
No obsolescence notice or last-time-buy window is on record. The base product number is 216093; the full order code is 1-216093-0.
