What this 50-position AMP-Latch header is built for
Each contact is rated 1A, which is typical for signal-level circuits in this series. The fully shrouded 4-wall housing with keying slot and mounting flange prevents mis-mating and secures the connector to the board. The latch lock/eject hooks provide positive retention against cable pull-out.
How the ratings affect your design
At 1A per contact, this header is strictly for signal duty — do not use it for power distribution. The 50-position count fills a wide ribbon cable; the 0.100" pitch matches standard IDC receptacles like the AMP-Latch socket series.
The part is packaged in a tray. For volume requirements, confirm packaging preference with your sourcing contact.
