DFM Guideline Introduction
TB-2241
Revision “K“
This document is intended to provide design criteria and process information that will promote
automation, cost and cycle time reduction, and help to produce designs that will yield high quality for the
solder attach of InfinX connectors. The InfinX connector will be used in many assembly processes, and
because all processes are different, this document provides a starting point, or “baseline” criteria for
application process development.
This document is not intended to be the final process definition,
nor is it intended to constrain designs.
If customers cannot meet/follow all of the recommendations,
they should contact TCS to discuss the best alternatives.
1.1
Scope
This document has been prepared to communicate the application guidelines for the InfinX
Surface Mount Connector. It provides Printed Circuit Board (PCB) footprint and layout criteria, and
“starting-point” process recommendations for SMT assembly. Updates and revisions will be issued on a
continuous basis to expand the guidelines, address changes in technology and manufacturing
capabilities, and cover modifications and/or additions to current criteria.
1.2
Purpose
DFM is the sharing of manufacturing guidelines developed from industry standards and the
knowledge gained from design and production. Applying these guidelines concurrently, in new product
development with the design and application of Amphenol TCS’s InfinX connector, can positively
impact cost, time to market, and quality of the end product.

Levels of Requirement
For each requirement, an impact and benefit statement is included to quantify the requirement.
Some requirements are stated as being recommended or preferred per the following:
Recommended:
The minimum processing requirement – a deviation
will
most likely impact
manufacturability and cost.
Preferred:
Should be done when possible – a deviation
could
impact manufacturability and
cost.

2.0 Design Introduction – InfinX Connector
TB-2241
Revision “K“
The InfinX connector is wafer constructed and organized in 10 and 18 wafer configurations.
There are 4 Pair and 6-Pair versions available. Each 4-Pair wafer has 18 connections – 8 signals and 10
grounds. The 6-Pair wafer has a total of 26 connections - 12 Signals and 14 Grounds.
The wafer construction allows for the contacts to be spaced on a 1.15mm x 2.3mm interstitial
grid. The connector can be specified in multiple separation heights – see section 2.1.
The connector is completely SMT attach, utilizing ball grid technology for termination to the
board, and is readily applied using standard SMT processes.
The solder ball used is a SAC305 Alloy with a diameter of 28 mils (0.71mm), re-flowed on the
end of a lead – “Blade in Ball”. (Tin-Lead is also available)
18 Wafer 6-Pair Plug Assembly – 8mm
