1. INTRODUCTION
This specification covers requirements for the application of AMPLIMITE HD–22 Straight Front Metal Shell
Connectors designed for printed circuit (pc) boards. The connectors are available with boardlocks and 4–40
threaded inserts, nonremovable 4–40 female screwlocks, or through holes in the mounting flange. Connectors
are designed to be placed on the pc board manually.
Front Metal Shell Connector receptacles are available in 15, 26, 62, and 78 positions; plugs are available in 15
and 78 positions. The connector plugs contain pin contacts and the receptacles contain socket contacts. This
document supercedes Application Specification 114–40022.
Figure 1 provides connector features and terms used throughout this specification. Use these terms when
corresponding with Tyco Electronics Representatives to facilitate assistance. The connector illustrations
present composites of mounting options and do not depict actual applications.

Initial release of document
2.2. Customer Assistance
Reference Base Part Number 5786382 and Product Code 4519 are representative of AMPLIMITE HD–22
Straight Front Metal Shell PC Board Connectors. Use of these numbers will identify the product line and
expedite your inquiries through a service network established to help you obtain product and tooling
information. Such information can be obtained through a local Tyco Electronics Representative or, after
purchase, by calling the Tooling Assistance Center or Product Information number at the bottom of page 1.
2.3. Drawings
Customer Drawings for each product part number are available from the service network. The information
contained in Customer Drawings takes priority if there is a conflict with this specification or with any technical
documentation supplied by Tyco Electronics.
2.4. Manuals
Manual 402–40 is available upon request and can be used as a guide in soldering. This manual provides
information on various flux types and characteristics along with commercial designations and flux removal
procedures. A checklist is included in the manual as a guide for information on soldering problems.
2.5. Specifications
Product Specification 108–1092 provides test results and performance requirements.
3. REQUIREMENTS
3.1. Storage
A. Ultraviolet Light
Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet light may deteriorate the chemical composition used in connectors.
B. Shelf Life
The connectors should remain in the shipping containers until ready for use to prevent damage. The
products should be used on a first in, first out basis to avoid storage contamination that could adversely
affect signal transmissions.
C. Chemical Exposure
Do not store connectors near any chemicals listed below, as they may cause stress corrosion cracking in
the components.
Alkalies
Amines
NOTE
Ammonia
Carbonates
Citrates
Nitrites
Phosphates Citrates
Sulfur Nitrites
Sulfur Compounds
Tartrates
Where the above environmental conditions exist, phosphor-bronze contacts are recommended instead of brass if
available.

3.2. Connector Shell Sizes
There are four industry standard shell sizes available for these connectors. A composite of the four receptacle
sizes with the overall dimension for each is provided in Figure 2.

3.3. Panel Mounting Cutout
Panel mounting is optional for AMPLIMITE Straight Front Metal Shell PC Board Connectors. For pc board
connectors, it will provide additional support for the solder joints during mating and unmating. The pc board
connectors can ONLY be rear mounted. Either front or rear mounting is acceptable for the mating cable
connector. Connector mounting flanges that have 4–40 internal threads will accept screwlocks or panel
mounting screws. Hardware attached to the connector flange shall be tightened to 0.45 N
D
m [4 in.–lb]
maximum. See Figure 3 for panel cutout dimensions.
Screwlocks are designed to secure a connector to a panel 1.58 mm [.062 in.] thick. They can be used with
thinner panels; however, washers are recommended to make up the thickness difference and provide a
bottoming surface for the mating connector flange. Screwlocks should be tightened to a torque of 0.45 N
D
m
[4 in.–lb] maximum. The 4–40 internal threads in the screwlocks will accept commercially available 4–40
threaded screws and jackscrews.

3.4. Mating Dimensions
114-13199
The dimensions shown in Figure 4 must be considered when determining method of mounting and thickness of
the panel when connectors are to be panel–mounted. This dimension ensures full mating of connectors.

3.5. Connector Spacing
Care must be used to avoid interference between adjacent connectors and/or other components. The
dimension depends on variable hardware used and the clearance required for mating connectors. The
information provided in Figure 5 is to ensure proper mating for manual placement of connectors.
