What this 60-position AMP-Latch header fits
Why the locking latch matters on a right-angle header
The 0.315" (8.00mm) insulation height gives clearance for the eject hooks to operate without crowding adjacent components.

TE Connectivity AMP-Latch header, 1-5499786-1, 60 positions, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, right-angle, shrouded, latch lock/eject hooks, through-hole, gold-plated mating contacts, rated 1 A per contact, 250 VAC, -65°C to 105°C.

This header mates with AMP-Latch IDC sockets or any 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch ribbon-cable receptacle designed for 60-position, dual-row, shrouded headers with latch lock/eject hooks. Confirm the mating half's keying slot and mounting flange compatibility before ordering.
Yes, the listed style is Board to Cable/Wire. The right-angle through-hole header accepts a mating cable assembly, making it suitable for wire-to-board interconnects in signal-level circuits up to 1 A per contact.
