1-66740-1 Datasheet, PDF (26/100 Pages) Tyco Electronics – M Series Pin and Socket Connectors

AMP M Series
Pin and Socket Connectors
NOTE: All part numbers
are RoHS Compliant
Singal Contacts
Type III+, Crimp, Snap-In, Size 16
Precision formed pin and socket contacts in Size 16. They are
used in M Series, Special M Series, “G” Series, Metrimate,
Metrimate Drawer, and CPC Series 1 and 4 ­connectors. Contacts
feature a high normal force which provides a low resistance in
significant applications such as dry circuit signal conditions.
Mating entry is closed-ended to prevent damage from stubbing
due to misalignment. Stainless steel spring provides superior
normal force and retention in the housing. AMP proprietary gold
plating process is designed so that specified plating thicknesses
are controlled on the inside of the socket, which is the ­critical
contact mating area. The contacts are formed from brass. Single
contact rating is 13 amperes at 30°C T-Rise. The single contact
rating for enhanced high current Type III+ is 24 amperes @ 30°C
T-Rise.
See page 31 for product details.
Type III+, Solder Type, Size 16
As with the crimp snap-in Type III+, these precision formed sol-
der-type contacts are also used in M Series, Special M Series,
Metrimate, Metrimate Drawer, and CPC Series 1 and 4 connec-
tors. Contacts feature a high normal force which provides a low
resistance in significant applications, such as dry circuit condi-
tions. A preformed wire barrel accepts both stranded and solid
wire, while the preformed insulation barrel provides strain relief
for various wire insulation thicknesses. Mating entry is closed-
ended to prevent damage from stubbing due to misalignment.
A stainless steel spring provides superior normal force and
retention in the housing. AMP proprietary gold plating process
is designed so that specified plating thicknesses are controlled
on the inside of the socket, which is the critical contact area.
Single contact current rating is 13 amperes at 30°C Temperature
Rise. Single contact rating for enhanced high current Type III+ is
24 amperes at 30°C T-Rise.
See pages 34 and 35 for product details.
Type III+, Solder Tab, Size 16
A companion contact style to the crimp snap-in and solder-
type, the Type III+ Solder Tab is compatible with the same AMP
connector families, and features high normal forces to provide a
low resistance in significant applications. A pre-crimped solder
tab with slot accepts various sizes of solid and stranded wire.
Mating entry is closed-ended to prevent stubbing due to mis-
alignment. A stainless steel spring provides superior normal
force and retention in the housing. AMP proprietary gold plating
process is designed so that specified plating thicknesses are
controlled on the inside of the socket, which is the critical con-
tact area. Single contact current rating is 13 amperes at 30°C
Temperature Rise.
