TE Connectivity 9-966140-1

The 18 Position Rectangular Connector, configured as an MCP unsealed header, provides 18 signal positions across three rows. It is designed to accept AMP MCP 2.8 and 1.5K contacts, supporting a maximum current of 40 amps. This connector is suitable for a range of applications where reliable signal transmission is required.

With a width of 20.3 mm and a length of 46 mm, this header has a profile height of 26.2 mm from the PCB, allowing for efficient space management on printed circuit boards. The connector features a horizontal mounting orientation with 90° pin options and includes locking interfaces for secure connections.

Operating within a temperature range of -40 to 100 °C (-40 to 212 °F), the connector is compliant with UL 94-HB flammability standards. The termination method utilized is through-hole solder, ensuring a stable connection to the PCB. The connector body is finished in black, with a centerline pitch of 3.5 mm, making it compatible with various PCB layouts.
