5-103168–2 – TYCO AMP

Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 5-103168-2 is a robust 8-position, 2-row vertical header designed for reliable board-to-board or cable interconnections. Its 2.54mm pitch and shrouded design with detent lock ensure secure mating and prevent accidental disengagement, a critical consideration in vibration-prone environments. While its gold plating on mating contacts offers excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance, designers must balance this performance with the potential cost implications for high-volume applications compared to tin-plated alternatives.
