The 966658-2: The 16-per-row pattern matches the standard AMPMODU Mod II footprint — the same base code as the mating receptacle and crimp terminal family. The shrouded 4-wall design (0.795" / 20.20 mm insulation height) protects the male pins from damage during blind mating or automated assembly.
Tin-plated contacts rated for moderate-cycle duty
The square male pin, 0.268" (6.80 mm) mating length, is made of brass with a tin-plated post (0.098" / 2.50 mm) for the solder tail. Overall contact length is 0.520" (13.21 mm). Rated for 12 V — this is a signal-level header, not a power interconnect. The 32 circuits at 2.54 mm pitch keep per-contact current below 1 A in typical use; the voltage rating is the limiting factor for the application.
Supplied in tray packaging. The base product number is 966658; the -2 suffix denotes the specific configuration (tin plating, board lock, blue housing).
Board-to-board or cable assembly fit
This header is listed for Board to Board or Cable applications. For cable assemblies, the shrouded header mates with a TE AMPMODU Mod II receptacle housing that accepts the corresponding crimp socket terminal. Automotive applications are listed — the -40°C to 110°C range and board lock suit under-hood or cabin electronics where vibration and temperature cycling are present. The 12 V rating aligns with automotive signal-level circuits.
