14-position, 0.100-inch pitch AMP-Latch header
The 5102154-2: The 0.100-inch (2.54mm) pitch and 0.100-inch row spacing set the PCB footprint for mating with standard AMP-Latch IDC receptacles. All 14 positions are loaded, with a gold or gold-palladium mating finish rated for repeated connect/disconnect cycles. A keying slot and mounting flange add mechanical retention and prevent mis-mating with non-keyed receptacles.
1 A per contact, gold mating finish
The 0.240-inch mating pin length ensures adequate contact wipe inside the receptacle socket.
Mates with AMP-Latch IDC receptacles
This header mates with TE Connectivity AMP-Latch IDC receptacles that accept 0.100-inch pitch ribbon cable. The push-pull fastening provides a friction-lock connection — no latch or screw, so assembly is quick but vibration resistance is lower than a locking connector. For applications requiring higher retention, consider the AMP-Latch latch-eject header variants.
Comparison with peer 1379030-3
The closest functional peer is TE 1379030-3, a 12-position, dual-row, shrouded header with friction-lock fastening and tin mating finish. The 5102154-2 offers two more circuits (14 vs 12) and a gold mating finish (vs tin), which translates to higher mating cycle life. However, 1379030-3 includes a board lock for additional SMT retention during reflow — the 5102154-2 uses a mounting flange instead. Both are active, but the gold finish on 5102154-2 is the better choice for corrosive environments or frequent reconnection.
