14 positions on 1.27mm pitch — what this means for the board
The 6-104069-0: This is a 14-circuit, dual-row header from the AMPMODU System 50 series. The 0.050-inch (1.27 mm) pitch on the mating face sets a tighter board footprint than the more common 0.100-inch pitch headers — the row spacing is 0.100 inch (2.54 mm), so the contact grid is 1.27 mm × 2.54 mm. The shrouded 2-wall housing with a latch holder protects the pins and provides a positive lock with the mating receptacle — important in automotive or telecom environments where vibration can back out an unlatched connector.
Board to board or cable style — mates with AMPMODU System 50 receptacles that share the same 0.050-inch pitch and 14-position, dual-row layout. The latch holder on this header engages the corresponding latch on the receptacle for a vibration-resistant mate.
Comparison with a sibling: why the extra positions matter
Compared to a 10-position version of the same series (same pitch, same gold plating, same right-angle orientation), this 14-position header adds four circuits in the same dual-row layout. The extra positions allow a denser signal bundle without increasing the board footprint beyond the extra 0.200 inch in length. For a BOM that needs exactly 14 lines, the 10-position part leaves four signals unmated — this one fills the harness.
