30-position AMP-Latch header for IDC ribbon cable
The 5102159-7: This is a 30-position, dual-row header from the AMP-Latch series, designed to mate with standard 0.100-inch pitch IDC ribbon cable connectors. The 4-wall shrouding protects the square male pins during mating and prevents bent contacts in blind-mate or high-density panel layouts. Rated 1 A per contact at 250 VAC, the current ceiling suits signal-level interconnects — think parallel I/O, control buses, or sensor arrays where each circuit carries logic levels rather than power. The 15 µinch gold or gold-palladium on the mating face supports repeated connect/disconnect cycles in field-service equipment.
Right-angle through-hole for board-edge cable exit
The right-angle orientation routes the mated cable parallel to the PCB, saving z-height in enclosures where vertical clearance is tight. The 0.110-inch (2.79 mm) post length fits standard 1.6 mm boards; the mounting flange and keying slot provide mechanical alignment and polarisation to prevent reverse mating.
