Board-to-Cable Header with Secure Latching
The 2-1761607-3: Latch lock/eject hooks on the long sides provide a positive mechanical lock against vibration, and the keying slot prevents mismating with non-keyed counterparts.
In a field-service application cycled quarterly, this translates to decades of reliable contact. For signal-level circuits this is ample; for power delivery, derate per the application temperature profile.
Mating Connector and Peer Comparison
This header mates with AMP-Latch IDC socket connectors (e.g., 1-746285-2 or similar 10-position, 2.54mm pitch receptacles) or crimp-style housings that accept the same 0.100" grid.
