The TE Connectivity AMP-Latch 2-216093-6 is a 26-position DIP header designed for mass-termination of ribbon cable via IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact). It sits in the AMP-Latch series, a long-running family of IDC connectors built for parallel cable-to-board interconnects. Typical applications include internal wiring in industrial controllers, test equipment, and legacy computing racks where a 26-conductor ribbon cable needs a reliable, field-serviceable connection to a PCB.
The 26 positions are all loaded, so every pin is present — no partial-population variants to watch for. The cable pitch of 0.050 inch means you need ribbon cable with conductors on that spacing; common 28 AWG stranded ribbon works, and the spec also accepts 26-30 AWG solid wire for custom cable assemblies. Termination is IDC — a single press operation terminates all 26 conductors simultaneously, no stripping or soldering.
