Material Specifications
Contacts
The material composition and
construction of AMP contacts
encompass varying price
ranges and performance char-
acteristics. Specific materials
and available platings and
plating thicknesses of each
contact type are provided on
individual contact pages in
the Contact section (pages
30 thru 43). A brief descrip-
tion of each contact type is
presented on pages 26
through 29. Also, typical per-
formance data of M Series
connectors and contacts is
shown below.
Housings
M Series connector housings
are made of either diallyl
phthalate (blue), general pur-
pose phenolic (black)
or polyester (black).
Diallyl phthalate housings are
molded of material per
MIL-M-14, Type SDG. These
housings are ideally suited for
use where adverse environ-
mental conditions are an
important factor. Their advan-
tages include exceptional
stability; excellent resistance
to acids, alkalies and solvents;
low moisture absorption; and
good dielectric strength.
Phenolic housings are molded
of material per
MIL-M-14, Type CFG. The per-
formance characteristics of
these housings make them an
excellent choice
for applications in which
exceptional resistance to
acids, alkalies or solvents
is not of prime concern.
Polyester housings are
molded from a high tempera-
ture thermoplastic material
per ASTM D3220. Polyester
housings provide the high
temperature characteristics of
diallyl phthalate and phenolic,
but with a higher impact
strength.
Hardware
A variety of materials such as
plated steel, stainless steel
and aluminum, are used in
the construction of
M Series connector hardware.
This provides for the proper
operation and durability of
each hardware component,
while offering a choice of
economies to satisfy particu-
lar application requirements.
The materials of each hard-
ware component are
specified on the individual
hardware component pages
in the Hardware section
(pages 78 through 89).
