INTRODUCTION This specification covers the application of FASTON 110, 187, 205, 250, and 312 Series Tab Contacts for printed circuit (pc) board applications. The series designator is the width of the tab in hundredths of an inch. There are loose piece contacts for hand tool application and continuous strip contacts for automatic machine application. Each tab has a tapered lead--in to ease insertion of mating receptacle contacts, a dimple or hole that helps retain the mating receptacle, and receptacle stops to prevent overinsertion of the mating receptacle contact. The pc board contacts are available with a variety of solder tines. Those with round barrel and double solder tines provide strength and stability for frequent connect/disconnect applications. When corresponding with Tyco Electronics Personnel, use the terminology provided on this specification to help facilitate your inquiry for information. Basic terms and features of the contacts are provided in Figure 1.

Clinching Tines Double solder tines contacts that extend more than 1.65 mm [.065 in.] beyond the pc board, and contacts with center tines, are designed to be clinched in the pc board. The extended and center tine contacts are designed to be used without solder, however, they may be soldered to the pc board for added stability. Clinched contact tines must be formed within specified limits. See Figure11.

Soldering PC Board Contacts NOTE i Manual 402--40 is available to assist in describing soldering variables, solderability problems, and solderability shelf life for tin or tin/lead solder/plates. It also provides a check list for data needed to assist in solving soldering problems. The contact solder tines must be fluxed with a rosin base, aqueous, or suitable no--clean flux before soldering. Selection of flux will depend on the type of pc board material and other components mounted on the pc board. Additionally, the flux must be compatible with the wave solder line, manufacturing, health, and safety requirements. Call one of the phone numbers listed at the bottom of page 1 for consideration of types of flux. The contacts may be wave or hand soldered to the pc board. 3.8. Cleaning After soldering, removal of fluxes, residues, and activators is necessary. Contact the supplier of the solder paste and flux for recommended cleaning solvents. Figure 12 provides a list of common cleaning solvents that will not affect the contacts. If you have a particular solvent that is not listed, consult an Tyco Electronics Representative before using it.

Inspection The following criteria will assist in assuring quality terminations. For illustrations and dimensional requirements, see Figure 13. S The contacts must be firmly secured to the mounting surface. Contacts with clinch tines may be soldered to the pc board. S There shall be no deformation of the contact tab that will hinder mating and unmating of receptacle contacts or otherwise affect the performance of the contact or other components. S Soldered contact tines must have an even solder fillet (see Solderability Specification 109--11--1). S The finish surface of the tab must not be scraped, gouged, or heavily marked. Light tooling marks are permissible.
