The 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch matches standard breadboard and 0.100" header grids — the same spacing used across the AMPMODU family for wire-to-board interconnects. The latch holder locks the plug to the mating header, giving vibration resistance in harness applications where the connection must not back out.
The 5-position count is the BOM line match — verify your circuit count against this number. The 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch sets the footprint: it mates with standard 0.100" headers, so the board layout is straightforward if you are using a through-hole or SMT header at that spacing. Wire gauge must be within 22-26 AWG; outside that range the IDC slot will not make reliable contact. The latch holder provides a positive lock — if your application sees vibration or the cable is frequently handled, this prevents accidental disconnection.
