16-position, 2.54 mm pitch — standard AMP-Latch footprint
The gold layer handles repeated mating cycles without oxidation; the tin tails reflow reliably in wave solder. For a field-serviceable interconnect that sees occasional unmate/remate, this plating grade is a solid middle ground — not the flash of a low-cycle part, not the heavy gold of a high-reliability military connector.
1 A per contact — signal duty, not power
The current ceiling is set by the contact geometry and the PBT housing's thermal limits; pushing 2 A per pin would exceed the temperature rise the UL94 V-0 material is rated for. If your BOM calls for more than 1 A per circuit, look at a higher-current series like AMPMODU.
Shrouded 4-wall with keying slot — mis-mate protection
In a panel with multiple AMP-Latch headers, the keying slot physically prevents a cable from seating in the wrong position — a common source of rework in harness assembly or field swap-out.
Active production — no LTB watch needed
TE Connectivity lists this part as Active. No end-of-life notice or successor has been issued. The part is RoHS compliant. For a BOM line that needs to stay available for the next several years, this is a safe commit.
