The 5-147278-7: This is an 8-position, single-row header from the AMPMODU MTE series, on a 2.54 mm pitch — the standard 0.100-inch grid that matches legacy board layouts and common IDC ribbon cable receptacles. The shrouded 4-wall housing with latch holder and keying slot prevents mis-mating and locks the cable plug in place under vibration.
Board-fit and retention features
The insulation height of 0.200 inches (5.08 mm) and mating pin length of 0.230 inches (5.84 mm) set the clearance above the PCB — confirm the mating receptacle's stack height against your enclosure lid.
RoHS compliant per current directive.
How it compares to similar headers
Compared to the through-hole sibling 1394090-1 (6 positions, 2.85 mm pitch, tin mating), this 5-147278-7 offers a denser 2.54 mm pitch, gold mating surface for higher cycle life, and SMD termination for automated assembly — at the cost of 8 positions vs 6. Against the 1376366-8 (8 positions, 2.20 mm pitch, tin, through-hole), this part uses a wider 2.54 mm pitch that eases routing and provides gold contacts, but the 1376366-8 carries a 5 A rating vs 3 A here.
