General Information
Applications
The Type M hybrid connector series is on a .100” (2.54mm) grid and manufactured in accordance with the DIN 41612 / IEC 60603-2
specification. This series of connectors is designed to accommodate a variety of coaxial and high power contacts which are also used
in other popular connector systems such as the 2mm Hard Metric Type M connectors. The signal contacts are rated up to 4 amps. It
is also possible to add high power contacts that can handle up to 40 amps and a variety of coaxial contacts available in both 50 and
75 ohm.The male and the female connectors have 2, 4, 6, 8, or 10 empty “cavities” to accommodate the special contacts. The ver-
satility of mixing both signal and either high power or coax considerably increases the usage of this connector in telecommunication
and data processing applications.

Standard Male Connectors for Daughtercards
The hybrid male connector is configured for a right angle
board mount application in accordance with the standard
DIN 41612 / IEC 60603-2 specification. This hybrid connector
is designed specifically for applications demanding signal,
power and/or RF-coax requirements. Special cavities molded
into the housing allow the reliable placement of special con-
tacts (Power or RF) in whatever configuration your application
demands. A maximum of 78 signals can be routed with 2 spe-
cial contacts while a demanding power or RF application can
utilize a maximum of 10 special cavities and 6 signal positions.
This standard male housing design incorporates features for
optional clips for board mounting during the solder process and
for coding/keying in reliable and rugged systems.

Special Contacts, Coaxial and High Power
These special contacts, available in both Coax and High Power are inserted into the empty “power ports” provided in the Type M
connector. The special contacts must be ordered separately as they are typically crimped or soldered onto the cable before insertion
into the connector housing.
The coax contacts are available in 50 and 75 ohm in both right angle and straight configurations. ERNI offers contacts that can be
crimped or soldered to cable or even soldered directly onto the PC board.
The power contacts are available in 10, 20 and 40 amps. They can be soldered directly to the board or soldered or crimped to cable.
Again, they are offered in both right angle or straight. Special power versions are also available to pressfit into the board. The press-
fit contacts are designed to be used with the modified female connectors and to sit flush on the board.
Both the coax and high power contacts are simply snapped into the housing. No special tooling is required for insertion with the
exception of the pressfit power contact. A pressfit tool is required to press the entire assembly with the power contact into the board.
An extraction tool is available if it would become necessary to remove any one of the special contacts.

Coding Systems
ERNI’s Type M connector is one of the few Type M connectors
in the industry that offer a coding feature. This system was
developed to eliminate the insertion of a daughter card into the
wrong slot of a card cage, which could cause destruction of
sensitive electronic components.
With the aid of a special tool, up to 8 recesses can be cut into
the male connector half, while recesses are already provided in
the female connector. Small wedges, coding tabs, can be
inserted into the female to match the cutouts in the male
connector.
