1. INTRODUCTION

This specification covers requirements for application of Micro--Strip Board--to--Board Plug and Receptacle

Connectors designed for printed circuit (pc) board applications. The connectors have in--row contact spacing

on 1.27 mm [.050 in.] centers and row--to--row contact spacing on 2.54 mm [.100 in.]. There are designs to

accommodate 40 thru 240 contact positions. The connectors are designed for manual placement on pc boards.

Figures 1 and 2 provide connector features and terms used throughout this specification. Use these terms

when corresponding with Tyco Electronics Representatives to facilitate assistance.

1.1. Plug Connectors

Plug connectors are vertical configurations. There are designs with ACTION PIN* contacts which provide a

force fit and eliminate the need for soldering, and there are designs with straight contact tines for solder

applications. Some of the solder--type connectors have two retentive contacts at both ends and on both sides

of the connector, that will help hold the connector in the pc board prior to soldering, and some have only

straight contact tines where customer hold--down will be used to hold the connector in place. One version has

mounting flanges. All plugs have two polarizing slots that match polarizing ribs in the mating receptacle. A

single rib on the housing indicates the number 1 pin position and two ribs on the housing indicate the number 2

position. See Figure 1.

1.2. Receptacle Connectors

Receptacle designs are available in vertical and right--angle designs with various solder tine lengths. The

right--angle connectors have mounting flanges and the vertical connectors do not. Each housing has two

polarizing ribs that match the polarizing slots in the plugs. A single marker on the housing indicates the

number 1 contact position and a double marker indicates the number 2 position. See Figure 2.

3. REQUIREMENTS

3.1. Product Materials

Micro--Strip Connector housings are constructed of high--temperature thermoplastic. The receptacle and plug

connector contacts are made of copper alloy. Contacts are underplated with nickel. They have tin plating on the

solder tines and gold plating in the contact interface area.

3.2. Storage

Connectors are packaged and shipped in either protective anti--static tube or tray containers. They should

remain in the containers until ready for use to prevent physical damage to the housings and contacts. The

connectors should be used on a first--in/first--out basis to avoid storage contamination that could adversely

affect signal transmissions and solderability of the solder--type connectors. If a receptacle has a tine organizer,

it should remain on the contacts through the entire process of handling and final assembly.

3.3. Polarization

The receptacle connectors have two polarizing ribs with a tapered lead--in and the plug connectors have two

mating slots to prevent reverse mating.

3.4. Circuit Identification

Plug and receptacle housings have a single rib molded into the sidewall at one end to indicate the number 1

position. They have two ribs on the other side to indicate the number 2 position.

3.6. Mating/Unmating Technique

The pressure used to mate and unmate connectors must be applied evenly and in--line with the connectors to

prevent deformation or other damage to the contacts, housing, or surrounding board components. The knifing

or peeling action of applying force to one end or one side must be avoided. The end--to--end and side--to--side

limitations are provided in Figure 4.

Figure 4

Guards will help prevent uneven disengagement of connectors which could damage the contacts, housing, or other

components on the pc board. The preferred location is one at each of the four corners of the pc board; however, a

guard can be centered at each end of the first (polarized row of contacts in the connector. Guards can be mounted to

either the plug or receptacle pc board. Suggested guard designs and required spacing are provided in Figure 5.

3.7. PC Board Layouts

The contact holes and, when applicable, mounting holes must be precisely located to assure proper contact

tine placement and optimum performance of the connector. The “X” and “Y” symbols on the pc board layouts

represent customer established datums. They are the origin for the basic dimension (XXX and YYY datum),

the point from which ALL hole positions must be located. All layouts depict the top (component) side of the pc

boards.

There is a minimum dimension of 12.7mm [.500 in.] required between all plug connectors when they are to be mated

with right--angle receptacle connectors that are mounted to a 1.52 mm [.060 in.] thick pc board. This dimension is

increased 0.76 mm [.030 in.] for each 0.76 mm [.030 in.] increase in pc board thickness. See Figure 6.

3.9. Placing Connector on PC Board

The connector should be handled only by the housing to avoid deformation, contamination, or other damage to the

contact tines.

Pick up the connector by the housing. Make sure the number 1 contact is oriented to align with the number one

hole in the pc board, then start the row of contacts into the pc board holes. Slowly rotate the connector to the

other side while making sure all contacts enter their respective holes in the pc board, then seat the connector

housing on the pc board. If installing a connector with ACTION PIN Contacts, a seating tool will be needed

(refer to Paragraph 5). For proper placement on the pc board, see Figure 12.

A. Flux Selection

The solder tines and, if applicable, attaching hardware must be fluxed prior to soldering with a rosin base

flux. Selection of the flux will depend on the type of printed circuit board and other components mounted

on the board. Additionally, the flux must be compatible with the wave solder line, manufacturing, and

safety requirements. Some fluxes that are compatible with these connectors are provided in Figure 14.

Call the Product Information number at the bottom of page 1 for consideration of other types of flux.

C. Drying

Air drying of cleaned connectors is recommended. Temperature for the connectors should not exceed --55

to 105_C [--67 to 221_F]. Degradation of the housings could result from extreme temperatures.

3.11. Repair

Connectors with damaged solder--type contacts can not be repaired. The solder must be removed and the

entire connector replaced. Connectors with damaged ACTION PIN Contacts can be repaired by removing the

damaged contact(s) and replacing it using the tool kit provided in Paragraph 5 and the appropriate replacement

contact, of which there are three: offset, straight, and bus. When extracting or inserting contacts, make sure

you use a backup plate suitable to support the housing with a slot or hole deep enough to receive the contact.

The extraction of contacts removes some of the pc board material. We recommend three times as the maximum

number of times that a contact should be extracted and replaced in any one cavity.

4. QUALIFICATIONS

Micro--Strip Connectors are Listed by Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL) in File E28476 and Certified to CSA

International in File LR7189.

5. TOOLING

The only tooling needed for Micro--Strip Connectors is that which is required for the ACTION PIN Contact

Connectors. This tooling includes seating tools, board supports (customer--supplied), power source machines,

and individual contact replacement tooling. See Figure 16.

5.1. Connector Installation Tooling

Seating Tools are designed to fit the conformation of the connector so that the machine force will push evenly

on all contacts simultaneously. A pc board support plate must be constructed to the configuration of your pc

board to provide support when insertion force is applied to the connector.

The maximum insertion force to install a Micro--Strip ACTION PIN is 133.45 N [30 lb.].

5.2. Contact Replacement Tooling

Contact Replacement Tooling consists of an impact tool with interchangeable signal contact removal and

contact replacement tips, and bus contact removal/replacement tip. The support must have a hole or slot

sufficient to receive the contact. An illustration of the tooling, the tooling part numbers, and instruction material

references are provided in Figure 16.
