What This AMP-Latch Receptacle Is
The TE Connectivity AMP-Latch 2-215911-0 is a 20-position IDC receptacle designed for mass-termination to 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch ribbon cable. A polarizing key in the housing ensures the connector can only be mated one way, preventing a reversed cable hookup in the field.
Where It Gets Used
This receptacle is the go-to for internal ribbon cable interconnects in industrial controllers, test equipment, and telecom racks. The IDC termination is fast on an assembly line—one stroke of the hand press terminates all 20 conductors at once. The polarizing key and the feed-through feature (the cable can pass through the housing for daisy-chain routing) make it practical for backplane wiring where multiple connectors share one cable.
