AMP-Latch DIP Header for Ribbon Cable Interconnects
The black housing carries all 10 positions loaded, with a feed-through feature that allows daisy-chaining multiple headers along a single ribbon cable run.
This IDC header accepts 26-28 AWG stranded wire or 26-30 AWG solid conductor — the two common gauges for 0.050" pitch ribbon cable. The IDC slot geometry is tuned for these diameters; using wire outside the range risks an unreliable gas-tight joint or a split housing.
Sourcing for Volume or Legacy Support
For BOM lines that require a RoHS-compliant alternative, the AMP-Latch series includes tin-plated variants — verify the position count and board pitch match before substituting.
