Board-to-Cable Fit: 24 Circuits at 2.54mm Pitch
The 5499910-5: The shrouded four-wall design with keying slot and mounting flange prevents mis-mating and gives the connector mechanical stability on the board. The latch lock/eject hooks hold the mating half securely — useful in equipment that sees vibration during transport or fan operation.
Plating Grade and Mating Cycle Life
Compare with peer 1379030-3, which uses a tin mating finish: tin is adequate for one-time or low-cycle connections but frets under vibration and repeated mate/unmate cycles.
ROHS3 compliant.
This header mates with AMP-Latch receptacles (socket housings) that accept 0.100" pitch ribbon cable or discrete wires. The latch lock/eject hooks engage the mating housing's slots — the short eject hooks clear the cable strain relief on standard IDC connectors. Through-hole solder termination: the 0.110" (2.79mm) post length fits standard 0.062" to 0.093" PCBs.
