Product details

3-Position, 3.96mm Pitch Receptacle Housing for Wire-to-Board Harnesses

Its 0.156" (3.96mm) pitch provides enough spacing to route 18-22 AWG discrete wires without crowding the adjacent cavity, making it a common choice for power distribution within control cabinets and appliance harnesses. The housing accepts crimp-socket contacts (ordered separately) and locks into the matching AMPMODU Mod I header with a positive latch for vibration resistance.

At 0.156" (3.96mm) pitch, this housing occupies a board footprint roughly 0.312" wide for the three positions — a standard spacing that aligns with common terminal block and relay socket layouts. The single-row arrangement keeps the connector narrow, suiting it for edge-of-board or tight-panel cutouts where a dual-row housing would not fit.

Frequently asked questions

What is the mating connector for the 87159-4?

The 87159-4 mates with a matching AMPMODU Mod I 0.156" (3.96mm) pitch header — typically a 3-position, single-row, through-hole or right-angle pin header from the same series. Confirm the header's position count and mounting style against your board layout.
