Right-angle through-hole, 8 positions, 2.54mm pitch — board-edge routing fit
The 5-103634-7: The latch holder provides positive locking — the connector stays mated under vibration without relying on friction alone.
RoHS compliant per current directive. Available through independent distribution channels.
Peer comparison — 6-position sibling vs 8-position alternative
The closest functional second-source is the 1394090-1, a 6-position, 0.112" (2.85mm) pitch, right-angle shrouded header from the same AMPMODU MTE family. The 5-103634-7 offers 8 positions at a tighter 2.54mm pitch, while the 1394090-1 uses a wider 2.85mm pitch and has thinner post plating (39.4 µinch vs 100 µinch). Both are active and use tin-on-tin contacts with latch holder fastening. A higher-current alternative is the 1376366-8, an 8-position, 0.087" (2.20mm) pitch header rated 5 A per contact. It uses the same right-angle through-hole, shrouded-4-wall, latch holder format but has a different series (.025) and a narrower pitch. The 5-103634-7's 3 A rating is adequate for signal-level loads; the 1376366-8 suits circuits needing higher per-contact current.
