1. INTRODUCTION
This specification covers the requirements for application of AMPLIMITE .050 Series Cable End Insulation
Displacement Connectors (IDC) and Printed Circuit (PC) Board Connectors. The connectors offers
high–density “D” mating interfaces (keystone configuration) with 1.27 x 2.54 mm [.050 x .100 in.] contact
centerlines and 20 through 120 positions. They are compatible with SCSI–2, EIA RS–232, IPI, and HIPPI
standards. Connectors are available with metal shells over plastic housings for EMI/ESD–shielded applications,
and with all–plastic housings for unshielded applications.
IDC Cable End Connectors are available with pre–assembled or unassembled termination covers, and are
designed to terminate solid or 7–strand, 30 to 28 AWG wire with an insulation diameter range of
0.74 to 0.91 mm [.029 to .036 in.]. There are connectors designed for free–hanging applications and others for
panel mount applications. Free–hanging connectors will require the use of a backshell while panel mounted
connectors do not. See Figure 1.
IDC Feed-Through Connectors are also available. See Application Specification 114-40049.
PC Board Connectors are available with solder–type or ACTION PIN* (solderless) contacts tails. Those with
solder–type contacts are available as straight and right–angle single configurations, or as right–angle stacked
configurations. Those with ACTION PIN (solderless) contacts are available in straight configurations only. The
connectors are available with cast or formed metal shells for shielded applications, and with all plastic housings
for unshielded applications. All of these connectors can be mounted through a panel. Cast metal shell
connectors are designed to be used with spring latches. Connectors with formed metal shells are designed for
screwlock and jackscrew applications. See Figure 1.
Accessories such as keying inserts, attaching hardware, and backshells are covered later in this specification.
When corresponding with Tyco Electronics Personnel, use the terminology provided in this specification to
facilitate your inquiry for information. Basic terms and features of the connectors are provided in Figure 1.
