Questions to ask at Design In stage
What wire guage will you be using? More flexibility with AWG when using
Crimp vs. MT. Crimp housings accept 22-30 AWG and MT housings accept
24-28 AWG.
Are the connectors available for IDC? Yes, we offer a MT version that is
preloaded with IDC contacts.
Is your process automated? MT housings are more suitable for automated
processes.
Where can I find information on current rating, voltage and operating
temperatures? Please see Product Specification Information.on page 4
of this QRG.
Which is a more standard header, with or without a locating boss?
The most standard headers tend to have a locating boss as it makes it
easier for the customer to align the connector onto their board.
What special retention mechanisms are available to help ensure PCB stability?
Most of the T/H headers have kinked legs, and the SMT headers have
solder tabs to help ensure PCB stability.
What are my tooling options? Tyco Electronics offers comprehensive
tooling options including Manual Pistol-Grips, manual Mini-Press, Pneumatic
Mini-press, Semi-Auto DECAM and an Automatic DECAM tool. For more
information, please visit tooling.tycoelectronics.com
What is the benefit of choosing Box over Std type headers? Box type
headers have an extra wall, that is a more reliable connector design
intended to prevent stubbing.
