1-66740-1 Datasheet, PDF (5/100 Pages) Tyco Electronics – M Series Pin and Socket Connectors

AMP M Series
Pin and Socket Connectors
NOTE: All part numbers
are RoHS Compliant
Introduction (Continued)
What makes the M Series
connector line so versatile
and special for a wide variety
of applications?
• Compatibility–Most
connectors intermateable
with connectors made to
MIL-C-28748 requirements.
• Wide range–Choice of con-
nector styles and sizes:
standard connectors
(unloaded), posted connec-
tors (preloaded) and special
application connectors.
• Complete line–Full line of
accessory hardware for fas-
tening, protecting, guiding,
strain relief and keying.
• Variety of contacts–Signal,
power, coaxial, and posted
versions—many are inter-
changeable and can be
intermixed in the same con-
nector housing.
• Full complement of applica-
tion tooling–For wire crimp
and posted terminationshand
tools, semiautomatic tooling
and fully automatic machines
provide highly reliable, low
cost terminations to meet
production requirements.
How to choose the appropri-
ate connector/contact/
hardware combination
Choosing the appropriate con-
nector/contact/hardware
combination is essential to the
proper function of any
AMP M Series connector. First,
a customer must evaluate
each individual application
with regards to: wire size(s);
number of circuits; available
space; fastening methods; and
needs for protection, shielding,
guiding, strain relief and key-
ing. Then, the customer must
consider the following factors
to make the appropriate selec-
tion of M Series connectors
and related components.
A - Determine Connector Type–
This decision is based on the
selected contact types, circuit
density requirements and, if
posted connectors are desired,
in-plant production capabilities
for wiring connectors using
hand tools or semiautomatic
tooling. Detailed specifications
of the various M Series connec-
tors are presented on the
following pages: Standard con-
nectors (pages 44 through 51),
Posted connectors (pages 52
through 60), Special
Application connectors (pages
61 through 77).
B - Determine Hardware–
This decision is based on the
selected connector types, and
the individual application
requirements for fastening, pro-
tection, shielding, guiding, strain
relief and keying. To assist cus-
tomers in determining the
proper hardware to use, hard-
ware selection information has
been formulated for each con-
nector type. This information is
located on pages 10 through 25.
Complete specifications of each
hardware component are pre-
sented in the Hard-ware section
of the catalog (pages 78
through 89).
C - Determine Contact Type –
This decision is based on wire
size(s) and reliability and cost
requirements of an application,
as well as the customer’s in-
plant production capabilities.
Complete specifications, includ-
ing accepted wire sizes and
available platings of all pin and
socket contacts, are presented
in the Contacts section of the
catalog (pages 30 through 43).
Application tooling for crimp-
and post-type contacts is
presented on pages 90 and 91).
