20-Pin Shrouded Header for IDC Cable Assemblies
The 5104338-4 is a 20-position, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch vertical header from the TE AMP-Latch series.
Through-hole mounting with kinked pins (: 0.120" post length) provides a positive mechanical lock in the plated hole before soldering. The 0.100" row spacing matches standard perf-board and prototyping grids, and the 0.385" (9.78mm) insulation height leaves clearance for routing traces under the header body on a densely populated board.
Mating Half and Series Position
This header mates with AMP-Latch IDC socket connectors (e.g., 746285-9 or similar 20-position receptacles). The keying slot and 4-wall shroud ensure the correct orientation and prevent pin damage during blind mating in a harness assembly. The AMP-Latch series is TE's long-established 0.100" pitch IDC interconnect family, covering 10 through 64 positions in single and dual rows. The 5104338-4 sits as a standard 20-position dual-row vertical header within that range.
