INTRODUCTION This specification covers the requirements for the application of High Current Edge Connector Contacts and Housings. Housings are available in 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, and 12 contact positions with contact centerline spacing of 7.92 mm .312 in The housings are designed with or without mounting ears and have the capability of mating with double--sided printed circuit (pc) boards. These housings are available two styles for wire--to--board and board--to--board applications. Wire--to--board housings accept heavy duty crimp, snap--in contacts which can accommodate a wire size range of 16--10 AWG with an insulation diameter of 2.29--5.34 mm .090--.210 in Contacts are supplied in strip form for automatic machine termination and in loose piece form for hand tool application. Board--to--board housings are supplied pre--loaded with solder tine contacts. Housings are placed on pc boards manually. When corresponding with TE Personnel, use the terminology provided on this specification to help facilitate your inquiry for information. Basic terms and features of components are provided in Figure 1.

REQUIREMENTS 3.1. Material High Current Edge Contacts are made of high conductivity copper alloy with bright tin--over--nickel plating. Housings are glass--filled, high--temperature thermoplastic. 3.2. Storage A. UltravioletLight Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet light may deteriorate the chemical composition used in housings. B. ReeledContacts When using reeled contacts, store coil wound reels horizontally and traverse wound reels vertically. C. ShelfLife The contacts and housings should remain in the shipping containers until ready for use to prevent deformation to the contacts and damage to the housings. They should be used on a first in, first out basis to avoid storage contamination that could adversely affect signal transmissions. 2 of 15 RevD
