10-position 2.54mm pitch — AMP-Latch IDC header
The 103308-1 is a 10-position, 2-row shrouded header from TE's AMP-Latch series, designed to mate with standard 0.100-inch (2.54mm) pitch IDC ribbon cable receptacles. The 4-wall shroud and keying slot guide the mating half and prevent misalignment — a half-turn loose on the latch is a dropout in vibration, but this push-pull fastening holds without threaded hardware.
RoHS non-compliant — tin-lead post finish
The 103308-1 carries a tin-lead post finish (100.0µin thickness) and is marked RoHS non-compliant. For lead-free builds, a RoHS-compliant AMP-Latch sibling with gold or tin post plating must be selected — the base product number 103308 covers several plating options. Production status is Active.
Mates with AMP-Latch receptacles (e.g., 746285-x series) and standard 0.100-inch IDC sockets. The 0.240" (6.10mm) mating pin length provides sufficient wipe for reliable contact. Through-hole solder tails (0.120" post length) suit single- or double-sided boards; the 2.54mm row spacing matches standard 0.100-inch grid prototyping boards. Keying slot in the shroud prevents mismating with non-keyed receptacles — useful when multiple headers sit side-by-side on the same board. The UL94 V-0 housing handles the flame-rating requirement inside equipment enclosures.
