1 A Signal Current, 250 VAC — the Contact Rating Ceiling
The brass square pins with 0.240" mating length and 0.110" post length are dimensionally standard for AMP-Latch receptacles — the contact geometry is shared across the series, so a 16-position header mates with any 16-position AMP-Latch IDC socket without fit issues.
Latch Lock/Eject Hooks — Vibration-Resistant Mating
The short latch lock/eject hooks provide positive retention between the header and the mating receptacle — the latch clicks audibly when fully seated, and the eject function helps unmate dense ribbon cables without prying at the plastic housing. In a 16-position dual-row assembly, the latch force is distributed evenly across the row ends, reducing the risk of pin bending during unmating.
