16 Circuits, 0.100" Pitch — AMP-Latch Header Identity
1 A Signal Duty vs 5 A Power — Peer Comparison
Compared to the 1318699-3, a 12-position, 4-row header at 0.165" pitch rated 5 A per contact, the 1761608-6 is a signal-density part. The 30 µinch gold mating finish on this header is ten times the 3 µinch gold on the 1318699-3 — a meaningful difference if the connector sees frequent unmating in a corrosive environment. The 1318699-3 uses circular pins; this one uses square pins, which give a slightly larger contact wipe area.
RoHS compliant per the listing.
