AMP-Latch 64-Position Shrouded Header for IDC Ribbon Cable
The 1-5499206-2: This is a 64-position, 0.100-inch pitch through-hole header from the TE AMP-Latch series, designed to mate with standard IDC ribbon-cable sockets. The four-wall shrouding protects the 0.240-inch-long square pins during handling and alignment, and the long latch lock/eject hooks provide positive retention and tool-less extraction from the mating receptacle. The mating surface is plated with gold or gold-palladium at 30.0 microinches, supporting repeated mating cycles without oxidation creep, while the solder tails receive a 100.0-microinch tin finish for reliable wave-solder wetting.
64 Circuits on 0.100-Inch Grid for High-Density Signal Routing
With all 64 positions loaded in two rows spaced 0.100 inches apart, the header occupies a board area roughly 3.2 inches long by 0.549 inches tall above the PCB. The 0.110-inch post length suits standard 0.062-inch boards with through-hole solder joints. The keying slot and mounting flange on the housing prevent mis-mating and add mechanical stability when the header is bolted to the board or panel.
