40-pin right-angle header for board-to-cable harnesses
Rated at 1 A per contact with 30 µinch gold or gold-palladium on the mating face, this header handles signal-level currents reliably over repeated mating cycles — the gold layer resists fretting corrosion in field-service equipment that gets disconnected quarterly.
What mates with this AMP-Latch header?
This header mates with standard AMP-Latch IDC receptacles and socket housings that accept 0.100" pitch ribbon cable or discrete wires. The latch lock/eject hooks engage the corresponding slots on the receptacle for a positive, audible lock — no secondary fastener needed. The 0.237" (6.02mm) mating pin length provides sufficient wipe for reliable contact with the receptacle's dual-beam terminals.
