Contact and Current: 3 A per Pin with Gold Mating Surface
The 9-146305-0-18: The mating surface carries 30 µinch gold over nickel — sufficient for 500+ mating cycles in a field-service or test-equipment environment where the connector is cycled repeatedly. The solder tails are tin-plated (100 µinch) for reliable soldering to the PCB; the square pin profile (0.025" square typical for the series) provides good solder fillet formation.
This unshrouded header mates with AMPMODU Mod II receptacle housings (e.g., 5-146281-x series) and IDC ribbon-cable sockets that accept 0.100" pitch, 18-position single-row female connectors.
