1. INTRODUCTION
This specification covers requirements for application of MICTOR Vertical Board–to–Board Plugs and
Receptacles designed for pc boards. The connectors have an in–row contact spacing on 0.64 [.025]
centerlines. There are designs to accommodate 38 through 266 contact positions. The connectors are
designed for manual or robotic placement on pc boards of various thicknesses.
Plug and receptacle connectors are available in various stack heights (see Figure 1), and right–angle designs.
The Vertical Plugs are identified with stack heights that describe their board–to–board distance when
assembled with a standard receptacle. Receptacle Connectors are available in vertical configurations which
mate with either vertical or right–angle plugs. An extended height receptacle is also available which adds
additional mated heights to the vertical product family. Vertical connectors are polarized by an orientation
feature that is located at the end of the housing. The date code and position one indicator are marked on the
side of the housings of all connectors.
Figure 1 provides connector features and terms used throughout this specification. Use these terms when
corresponding with Tyco Electronics Personnel to facilitate assistance.

3. REQUIREMENTS
3.1. Product Materials
114-11004
MICTOR Connector Housings are constructed of a high temperature thermoplastic – Liquid Crystal Polymer,
UL94V–0. The plug and receptacle signal contacts are made of high reliability copper alloy, and the ground
buses are made from brass and phosphor bronze. The mating interface of the signal contacts and ground
buses are underplated with nickel and finished with gold plating or palladium nickel with gold flash. The solder
leads and tines have 60/40 matte tin–lead or matte tin plating.
3.2. Storage
Connectors are packaged and shipped in protective anti–static tubes or pocket tape which can be used for
automated placement of the connector to the pc board. Connectors should remain in the containers until ready
for use to prevent physical damage to the housings and contacts. The connectors should be used on a first in,
first out basis to avoid storage contamination that could adversely affect signal transmissions and solderability
of the contact tines.
3.3. Polarization
Both the vertical plug and receptacle connectors are prevented from reverse mating by an orientation feature
located at the end of the connector that interfaces with the orientation hole in the pc board. See Figure 1.
3.4. Circuit Identification
Vertical plugs and receptacles are marked with a No. 1 pin identifier. See Figure 1.
NOTE
There is no industry standard for the callout of the part number numbering sequence for MICTOR Connectors. It is up
to customer discretion. However, the most common method is to start with pin number 1 and continue the numbering
i
NOTE
sequence (1, 2, 3, 4, etc.) down that side of the connector, then continue directly opposite the number 1 pin on the
other side to number the pins to the other end of the connector.
MICTOR Connectors come in 38-position increment sizes (19 signal contacts per side). Each 38-position increment
has five ground bus solder leads that are commoned internally with the connector.

3.5. Spacing
A. Connector Alignment
CAUTION
Tyco Electronics does not recommend the use of more than two mating pairs of connectors between two pc boards; if
more than two pairs of mating connectors are necessary to meet design requirements, consult the Product Information
!
number located at the bottom of page 1.
In applications involving multiple connectors per pc board, special attention must be paid to ensure the
orientation of connectors on one pc board are correctly matched to the connectors on the mating board.
Connectors can be placed in close proximity to each other on the pc board. The dimensions provided do
NOT include space needed for other pc board components or robotic tooling. Check spacing requirements
for other components before making your placement layout on the pc board. Figure 2 provides
recommended placement variations to ensure vertical board–to–board plug and receptacle mating and
unmating.

Maximum distances between connectors should be contingent upon consideration of thermal expansion coefficient
differentials of pc boards and any fixtures on a pc board that may be used to maintain connector position during reflow.

3.6. PC Boards for MICTOR Connectors
A. Tolerance
At the time of connector placement, the coplanarity of the pad pattern must be held to 0.05 [.002]
maximum. We recommend a solder mask to minimize solder bridging between pads. The mask must not
exceed the height of the pad by more than 0.05 [.002]. Maximum allowable bow of the pc board shall be
0.10 [.004] over the length of the connector.
CAUTION
Since the connector housings may rest on top of the solder mask, an excessively high mask will allow too much space
between the solder tine and pad for a good solder joint. A solder joint under these conditions would be weak, and
!
would not provide long term performance for the connector.
B. Material and Thickness
PC board material shall be glass epoxy (FR–4 or equivalent) and have nominal thickness of 1.57 +0.15
[.062 +.006] or 2.36 +0.20 [.093 +.008] to ensure good interconnection to the pc board with and without
hold–downs. There is no limit on maximum thickness (connectors are intrusive solder reflowed). Call the
Product Information number at the bottom of page 1 for suitability of other materials or thicknesses. A
solder mask is recommended when soldering connectors. Those most suitable are Liquid Photo
Imageable and Dry Film.
