14 Circuits at 2.54mm Pitch — Board-to-Cable Fit
The 2-1761606-5: Rated 1A per contact at 250VAC. For a 14-circuit harness carrying logic-level loads, this is well within the contact's margin. In a panel or machine where the cable gets tugged or the assembly vibrates, that latch keeps the pins from fretting open.
Gold Mating Surface — 30µin for Field Cycling
The gold-on-the-mating-side, tin-on-the-tail split is the classic signal-header plating strategy: low corrosion on the separable interface, good solderability on the board side.
Keying Slot and Temperature Range
On a panel with several AMP-Latch connectors, the keying stops a mis-wired harness before it powers up. The PBT insulation holds up across that span without cracking or softening — the connector can live in an outdoor cabinet that sees a cold night and a hot afternoon, or in a machine near a motor that radiates heat.
