Hybrid Signal-Power Header for Board-Level Distribution
The TE Connectivity 1-6600132-0 is an 18-position MULTI-BEAM XL header that splits its contact layout into 16 signal circuits and 2 power blades. That hybrid arrangement means one connector handles both the logic-level interconnects and the main DC rail feed on a single board footprint — no separate power terminal block needed. Black UL94 V-0 housing, right-angle orientation, through-hole solder termination.
Board Lock and Mating Guide for Vibration Resistance
This header carries integral board locks and a mating guide. The mating guide aligns the receptacle on insertion, protecting the signal pins from stubbing. In a power-distribution board inside an industrial cabinet or a server PSU, those two features keep the mated pair seated through thermal cycling and mechanical shock.
The four-row, 18-position layout means the mating force adds up; the mating guide helps distribute it evenly across the contact beams.
