Active Sourcing for the AMP-Latch 10-Position Header
The 5102153-1: Rated 1 A per contact — that's a signal-level current, not power.
Board Fit and Mechanical Anchoring
A mounting flange on each end lets you screw the header to the board or panel for extra vibration resistance, which is worth the two extra holes in the PCB layout if the harness sees machine motion. Insulation height of 0.549" (13.94 mm) means the header stands off the board enough to clear components underneath, but it's not a low-profile part — plan for that z-height budget.
Mating Half and Harness Compatibility
This header mates with AMP-Latch receptacles that accept 20-24 AWG ribbon cable or discrete wires with the matching crimp contacts. In a high-vibration environment, the mounting flange is your primary retention; the push-pull latch alone won't hold against constant shaking.
Cross-Shop Against AMP-Latch Siblings
If you need 12 positions instead of 10, the 1379030-3 is a right-angle version with tin mating finish and a friction lock — same 0.100" pitch, but the tin contact is rated for fewer mating cycles. The 5102153-1's gold finish gives it an edge in applications where the connector gets unmated and remated during service. For a 6-position board-to-cable/wire header, the 953440-3 offers a right-angle orientation with a board guide and friction lock, but again with tin mating finish. If your layout needs a single-row header, the 1394090-1 uses a 0.112" (2.85 mm) pitch and a latch holder — different footprint, different latching mechanism.
