Board footprint and pinout for 5499910-1
This 10-position, dual-row header sits on a 0.100-inch (2.54 mm) pitch grid — the standard footprint for AMP-Latch ribbon-cable interfaces. The two rows are spaced 0.100-inch apart, so the board layout uses a 2×5 pattern with 0.100-inch between centres in both axes. The through-hole solder tails extend 0.110-inch (2.79 mm) below the board surface, and the overall contact length from the mating face to the solder tip is 0.639-inch (16.23 mm).
Mating half and latch lock fit
The header mates with any standard AMP-Latch 10-position receptacle that uses the short eject latch. The latch lock/eject hooks on this header engage the latch ears on the receptacle — when the receptacle is pressed down, the hooks snap into the ears and lock. To unmate, squeeze the eject hooks outward to release the ears, then lift. The keying slot on the header ensures the receptacle can only be inserted in one orientation — useful when multiple headers sit close together on the board.
