AMP Economy Power (EP)
Connectors are designed
for secondary power circuit
applications. They consist
of wire-to-pc board plug
housings (for receptacle
contacts) and mating post
headers. Two contact
centerline spacings are
available: .156 [3.96] and
.312 [7.92].
During mating, the positive
locking lever on the outside
of the plug housing
engages the mating header
housing to provide for
greater retention. This
helps maintain reliable
connections, when other
non-locking type connec-
tors could vibrate apart.
This same locking lever
must be depressed to
unmate the connectors.
The locking mechanism is
also located high enough to
help avoid interference with
pc board clear plastic
coating (potting), which is a
common treatment for many
home appliances.
Headers with .156 [3.96]
centerline are offered in 2
through 11 positions; .312
[7.92] centerline are avail-
able in 2 through 5 posi-
tions. Both versions are
provided in bulk pack or in
tubes for automatic
machines.
The slim, vertical, post
headers are stackable end-
to-end for greater flexibility
when designing pc board
configurations.
The mating height of a
low-profile plug and vertical
header is .642 [16.3]; even
the 1-position high-profile
style measures only .732
[18.6] above the pc board.
Compact dimensions like
these are well suited for
most applications in con-
fined spaces.
