1. INTRODUCTION
This specification covers the requirements for application of AMPLIMITE Series 109 pc board connectors.
These connectors are available in straight and right-angle with 9, 15, 25, 37, and 50 positions and have size 20
contact posts. Each connector features a keystone configuration mating face with a front metal shell and plastic
housing and standard mounting holes that will accept removable screwlocks or commercially available
hardware. The connectors include spacers that slide over the attaching hardware.
These connectors are designed for manual placement on a pc board; the connectors can also be panel
mounted.
When corresponding with personnel, use the terminology provided in this specification to facilitate your inquiries
for information. Basic terms and features of this product are provided in Figure 1.

3. REQUIREMENTS
3.1. Connector Shell Sizes
There are five industry standard shell sizes available for these connectors. A composite of the five sizes with the
overall dimension of each is provided in Figure 2.
54.84 [2.159]
52.43 [2.064]
38.38 [1.511]
24.66 [.971]
16.33 [.643]
Shell Sizes:
Figure 2
3.2. Shielding
The connector shell is available in either tin-plate or cadmium over steel; or cadmium or gold over brass which
provide electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). When mated with another metal shell connector, both shielding
and grounding continuity are achieved. Use of metallic hardware provides additional reinforcement of electrical
continuity.

3.3. PC Board
A. Thickness
The connectors are designed for standard thickness pc boards of 1.57 [.062], 2.39 [.094], and 3.18 [.125].
Connectors with solder tine length range of 2.52 to 3.91 [.099 to .154] are recommended for pc boards up to
1.57 [.062] thick.
For pc board thickness up to 2.39 [.094], connectors with solder tine length range of 4.699 to 3.302 [.185 to
.130]. is recommended. Connectors with solder tine length range of 3.937 to 5.334 [.155 to .210] are
recommended for pc boards up to 3.18 [.125] thick.
B. Solder Tine Holes
The method of drilling and plating the holes in the pc board and the size of the finished land around the holes
will depend on your own established standards. The finished hole diameter after plating for the two solder
tine diameters must be within the range specified in Figure 3.
