Finish
The finish for each part shall be as specified herein. Substitute finishes shall meet the performance
requirements of this specification.
4.3.1 Both the header and receptacle contacts shall be plated with GOLD / GXT, with Pure Tin.
Minimum of 1.27µm of Nickel under plate all over.
4.3.2 Contact areas: As defined by product drawings, will be plated with the specified thickness
4.3.3 - GOLD / GXT 0.76µm
4.3.4 All other areas will be plated with 1.27µm min of nickel.
4.4
design and construction
The connector system shall be of two-piece design, consisting of : a molded straight, or SMT shielded
header having 0.51mm Square header contacts arranged for printed wiring board termination on a
2.0mm square grid; and a multi piece receptacle connector having self-stripping (IDC) contact
terminations for flat and flexible round conductor cable 1.0mm pitch.
NOTE: While the receptacle can be mated with any 0.52mm square header contacts, Minimum pin
length is 3.0mm Maximum pin length is 4.5mm. Recommended pin length is 4.0mm.
4.4.1
Installation.
4.4.1.1 Header. The header shall mount on printed wire board of any thickness from 0.8mm to
1.6mm, having 0.8mm diameter holes or 4.1mm x 1.0mm pad layout for Surface mount
application.
4.4.1.2 Receptacle. The receptacle shall simultaneous terminate up to 50 wires size AWG 26-
28(stranded) on 1.0mm centers.
4.4.2
Latching mechanism. A latching mechanism shall be available for locking the plug into the receptacle
to withstand service conditions without disconnecting and help to disconnect the connectors without
any tools.
Strain relief . An optional strain relief shall be available to protect the receptacle terminations against
pull and flexing forces.
Polarizing feature. An optional molded-in polarizing feature shall be available to insure correct
orientation of the receptacle connector and its mating header.
