The four-wall shroud and keying slot guide the mating connector into position and prevent misalignment or reverse insertion — useful when the cable is routed in a tight enclosure and you're mating by feel. Rated 1 A per contact across the operating range of -65°C to 105°C, with a UL94 V-0 housing. That current ceiling is typical for signal-level AMP-Latch headers; it's the contact density and the IDC termination that limit the per-pin current, not the contact itself.
Mating half and termination style
The mating connector is an AMP-Latch socket (IDC receptacle) with the same 14-position, 0.100" pitch layout. Termination is through-hole solder.
Sourcing and compliance reality
RoHS non-compliant. If your BOM requires RoHS, this part won't pass — you'd need to look at the RoHS-compliant sibling in the same series or a tin-plated alternative.
