Current, temperature, and environment
The keying slot in the shroud prevents mismating with receptacles that have a different key position — a practical safeguard when multiple similar headers sit side by side on the same board.

The keying slot in the shroud prevents mismating with receptacles that have a different key position — a practical safeguard when multiple similar headers sit side by side on the same board.
This header mates with AMPMODU MTE receptacles (crimp or IDC) that have a 0.100-inch (2.54 mm) pitch, single-row layout, and a compatible keying slot. The latch holder on this header locks with the corresponding latch on the receptacle housing.
The gold-plated mating surface also helps resist corrosion in unsealed environments.
