Material Specifications
Contacts
The material composition and
construction of AMP Type III+
contacts encompasses vary-
ing price ranges and
performance characteristics.
Specific materials and avail-
able plating thicknesses of
each contact are provided.
Housings
M Series V.35 connector
housings are made of
general purpose phenolic
(black) or polyester (black).
Phenolic housings are
molded of material per
MIL-M-14, Type CFG. The per-
formance characteristics of
this material makes the con-
nector an excellent choice in
applications where excep-
tional resistance to acids,
alkalies, or solvents is not a
prime factor.
Hardware
A variety of materials such as
plated steel, stainless steel,
zinc (nickel plated) and alu-
minum are used in the
manufacture of M Series V.35
connector hardware. This
provides for the proper oper-
ation and durability of each
hardware component, while
offering a choice of econo-
mies to satisfy partic-
ular application
requirements.
Current Carrying
Capabilities
The total current capacity
of each contact in any given
M Series connector is depen-
dent upon the heat rise
resulting from the combina-
tion of electrical loads of all
contacts in the connector
arrangement and the maxi-
mum ambient temperature in
which the connector will be
operating. Caution must be
taken to insure that this com-
bination of conditions does
not cause the internal tem-
perature of the connector to
exceed the maximum operat-
ing temperature of the
housing material. Several vari-
ables which must be
considered when determining
this maximum current capa-
bility for your application are:
a) Wire Size - Larger wire
will carry more current
since it has less internal
resistance to current flow
and generates less heat.
The wire also conducts
heat away from the
connector.
b) Connector Size - In
general, with more
circuits in a connector,
less current per contact
can be carried.
c) Current Load Distribution -
Spreading those lines
with greater current loads
throughout the connector,
particularly around the
outer perimeter, will
enhance heat dissipation.
d) Ambient Temperature -
With higher ambient
temperature, less
current can be carried.
