AMPLIMITE Subminiature D Connectors
AMPLIMITE .050 Series Vertical Receptacle Headers, Series III, with
ACTION PIN Contacts (.050 x .100 [1.27 x 2.54] Centerlines)
AMPLIMITE .050 Series
Connectors, Series III
Shielded AMPLIMITE .050
Series headers with
ACTION PIN contacts offer
a high-density D type
interface, and a solderless
board-mount interconnection.
These vertical mount
headers are available in
20, 26, 50, 68 and 100
contact sizes. Choice of
configurations includes;
headers with rails and latch
blocks, with latch blocks
only, and without rails and
latch blocks.
ACTION PIN contact tails
are available in two lengths;
.173 [4.39] for pc boards
with a nominal thickness of
.062 [1.56] to .093 [2.36],
and .280 [7.11] for pc
boards with a nominal
thickness of .125 [3.18]
to .200 [5.08].
AMPLIMITE .050 Series
headers with ACTION PIN
contacts are compatible
with SCSI-2, SCSI-3, EIA
RS-232, IPI-2 and HIPPI
standards.
Principle of the AMPLIMITE .050
Series Compliant ACTION PIN
Contact
When an AMPLIMITE .050
Series compliant
ACTION PIN contact is
inserted into a plated-
through-hole, two spring
members are compressed,
exerting force against
the hole for a gas-tight
connection. The diameter
of the hole is smaller than
the diagonal size of the pin.
The beam characteristics of
the pin are designed so that
a plastic, as well as an
elastic, deformation takes
place during insertion.
The two spring members
compress to different
degrees to accommodate
hole tolerances. The
compliant pin also reduces
strain on the board. With a
rigid pin, the elastic strain
energy is stored entirely in
the board, leading to
damage of the plated-
through holes. With the
AMPLIMITE .050 Series
compliant ACTION PIN
contact, the residual force
of the elastic deformation
maintains stored energy to
produce a gas-tight contact
zone between the pin and
the plated-through-hole.
This ensures long term
electrical and mechanical
reliability of the
interconnection.
