Female-on-Board Connector

This connector version incorporates the patented AMP Micro-MaTch contact spring system and is designed to be soldered into pc boards with a nominal thickness of 1.6 mm. For pc boards of 1.0 mm thickness consult AMP. The solder legs are indented, providing firm retention of the connector before and during the soldering operation.

As polarization is accomplished directly between the AMP Micro-MaTch male connectors and the pc board, this top entry female connector does not have any polarizing features. Therefore, the orientation of the connector on the pc board is irrelevant.

This connector version is identical to the top entry version with two exceptions:

– The solder legs are parallel to the mating face of the connector instead of perpendicular.

– Its housing is polarized, so that polarization is accomplished directly between the two mating connectors. Proper orientation of the connectors on the pc boards is relevant here.

Male-on-Board Connector

This male connector version is designed to be soldered into pc boards with a nominal thick´ness of 1.6 mm. For pc boards of 1.0 mm thickness consult AMP. The solder legs are indented for firm retention of the connector in the pc board. The connector housing features a polarizing pin on one end for proper orientation of this connector version.

Male-on-Wire Connector

For the wire connection a wellknown AMP-LATCH type blade with a single slot is used. The insides of the slots are tin plated for stable and reliable connections. The connector is supplied with a pre-assembled cover, providing excellent positioning of the ribbon cable before and during the insulation displacement process. After termination the cover is held in place by each individual contact in addition to two plastic latches at both ends of the connector.

Remark: The AMP Micro-MaTch male-onwire connector is specifically designed to be disengaged from its counterpart by pulling the cable in the appropriate direction.

Paddle Board Connector

Direct soldering of a ribbon cable onto a pc board is a very difficult job with the smaller sizes of ribbon cable. If sich a permanent cable connection is required, the application can be facilitated by using this connector type.

The paddle board connector is applied to the ribbon cable with the same application tooling, available for the termination of the male-on-wire connector.

The solder tines are indented and provide mechanical retention of the connector/cable assembly in the pc board before and during soldering.

This paddle board connector version is designed to be soldered into pc boards with a nominal thickness of 1.6 mm. For pc boards of 1.0 mm thickness consult AMP.

Micro-MaTch SMD Female – Top Entry –

This connector version incorporates the patented AMP Micro-MaTch contact spring system and is designed to be mounted automatically onto pc boards in SMD technique.

The connector housing is polarized, so that polarization is accomplished directly between the two mating connectors. Proper orientation of the AMD connectors on the printed circuit boards is relevant here.
