content: I am working on a project that needs a lot of connectors to external devices (mostly limit switches, so 2-pin connectors), but the board itself is fairly simple and can probably fit in about 2x2 inches of area. I am hoping to put right-angle connectors around the edge of the board, but it looks like I might run out of space. It occurred to me that a good solution would be to have a single header that can accept two plugs - one on top of the other. The problem I am encountering is finding such a part, preferably for a price of less than $2 ea in qty 10. I want something that will retain the plug a little better than a non-latched 0.1 inch header, and would prefer a current rating of at least 1 A/pin (1.5A/pin would be better). Does such a part even exist? A quick look at DigiKey finds nothing, but I don't know if I am looking in the right place.Basically, I am looking for something like two of these stacked on top of each other (it would accept two, two pin plugs and have four pins that go down and solder to the PCB):https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/jst-sales-america-inc/S2B-PH-K-S-LF-SN/455-1719-ND/926626

content: I seem to recall the TE AMPMODU MTE series having options for stacking two single-row connectors within a single shrouded header. With latching too, I think.

content: I love the idea behind the TE AMPMODU, but they are too expensive for this project. I'll definitely keep them in mind for others though! In the end, I decided to just use some 1.5mm pitch connectors. Current ratings are a little close, but the application is intermittent duty and the currents estimates I gave are worst-case, and still fit within the connector specs.
