2-1761608-1

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part number 2-1761608-1 is a vertical header connector belonging to the AMP-Latch series. It features six positions arranged in two rows with a 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) mating pitch and row spacing. Designed for board-to-wire applications, it utilizes through-hole termination for soldering. The contacts are male pins made of phosphor bronze, featuring gold or gold-palladium plating on the mating section with a thickness of 30.0 µin (0.76 µm). The tail pins are tin-plated with a thickness of 100.0 µin (2.54 µm). The housing is blue polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) rated UL94 V-0. It includes a four-wall shielded cover and long locking/popping hooks.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Features a four-wall shielded cover design to protect connections
• Incorporates long locking and popping hooks for secure retention
• Utilizes gold or gold-palladium contact plating for reliable conductivity
• Constructed with PBT insulation material meeting UL94 V-0 flammability standards

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-wire interconnections in electronic assemblies
• General purpose signal and power distribution circuits
• Industrial control panel wiring harnesses

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer datasheet to ensure correct pin count and orientation. Confirm that the required current rating of 1A per contact aligns with the application load. Check for availability constraints as standard lead times may apply. Ensure the through-hole mounting style matches the PCB layout requirements. Validate that the operating temperature range of -65°C to 105°C suits the environmental conditions.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a vertical, shrouded header with positive locking mechanisms is required. The AMP-Latch series provides robust mechanical retention compared to standard headers. Consider the 2.54mm pitch compatibility with existing ribbon cable or wire harness systems. The blue color coding aids in visual identification during assembly. Ensure the PCB hole pattern supports the specified terminal dimensions for reliable solder joints.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This connector is part of the broader AMP-Latch family from TE Connectivity, known for high-reliability interconnect solutions. The AMP brand has a history dating back to 1941, focusing on precision electrical connections. This specific model represents a standard through-hole solution within their rectangular connector portfolio, widely used in commercial and industrial electronics for stable signal transmission.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitute: 2-1761608-1. Verify cross-compatibility with other AMP-Latch variants if space constraints differ. Ensure mating connectors match the 6-position, 2-row configuration and locking hook style.
