16-Position Breakaway Header at 0.100" Pitch
The 5-146261-8 is a 16-position, dual-row unshrouded breakaway header from the AMPMODU Mod II series. Rated 3 A per contact, the current ceiling is limited by the housing material temperature rise, not the contact itself. The post tails are tin-plated at 100 µinch (2.54 µm) for reliable solder wetting through the plated through-hole.
Unshrouded Breakaway — Mating and Termination
The breakaway construction lets you snap the pin strip to a shorter length if your BOM calls for fewer than 16 positions, though this part ships fully loaded.
Active Production — Sourcing and Compliance
The housing material is Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP), which holds dimensional stability through reflow and wave-solder profiles.
