All numerical values are in metric units [with U.S. customary units in brackets]. Dimensions are in millimeters. Unless
otherwise specified, dimensions have a tolerance of +0.13 and angles have a tolerance of +2_. Figures and
illustrations are for identification only and are not drawn to scale.
1. INTRODUCTION
This specification covers the requirements for application of UPM connectors onto printed circuit (pc) boards.
The connectors consist of vertical receptacles and headers and right--angle receptacles and headers. The
connectors are available with 3 through 12 positions with a blade--to--blade centerline spacing of 3.0.
The connectors have press--fit compliant pin contacts which allow solderless pc board installation.
The vertical receptacle and right--angle header have ACTION PIN* contacts, and the vertical header and
right--angle receptacle have eye--of--needle contacts. The vertical header is available with stack heights of
15 and 18. The vertical receptacle features application tool slots which are designed to accept ribs of the
available seating tool to aid in proper alignment when seating the vertical receptacle onto the pc board.
Straight and right--angle guide pins and female guide module are available for aid in connector alignment
during mating. The guide pins and guide module are available keyed or unkeyed.
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. Storage
A. Ultraviolet Light
Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet light may deteriorate the chemical composition used in the connector
housing.
B. Shelf Life
Connectors should remain in the anti--static shipping tubes until ready for use to prevent deformation. The
connectors should be stored at normal room temperatures with low humidity, and used on a first in, first
out basis to avoid storage contamination that could adversely affect signal transmissions.
C. Chemical Exposure
Do not store connectors near any chemicals listed below as they may cause stress corrosion cracking in
the contacts.
Alkalies Ammonia Citrates Phosphates Citrates Sulfur Compounds
Amines Carbonates Nitrites Sulfur Nitrites Tartrates
3.2. Material
The connector housings are made of polyester, UL 94V--0 rated. The contacts are made of phosphor bronze
plated at the contact surface with gold over nickel. The compliant pin section of the contact is made of tin--lead
over nickel or tin over nickel. Special high--current contacts are available upon request.

3.5. End--to--End and Side--by--Side Placement
The ends of the right--angle receptacle housing are a maximum of 3.0 from the centerlines of the first and third
blades. As shown in Figure 5, this allows the hole pattern for these blades to be 4.0 from the hole pattern of
the Z--PACK HM 2mm connector. For side--by--side placement, a 12.0 centerline spacing can be used.
For requirements of other connectors, call PRODUCT INFORMATION at the number at the bottom of page 1.

3.6. Seating Connectors
A. Handling and Initial Positioning
The connectors should be gripped by the housing only—not by the contacts. When placing a connector
onto the pc board, all contact tines should be aligned and inserted into the pc board simultaneously to
prevent twisting or bending of the contacts.
B. Force
When seating a connector, the force must be applied evenly on the connector to prevent deformation or
other damage to the contacts and housing. When seating receptacles, force must be simultaneously
applied to the shoulders of each contact at the bottom of the slots on the exterior or the housing. When
seating headers, force must be evenly applied to the back, top surface of the housing. The maximum force
required to seat the connectors is given in Figure 6.

3.10. Repair
Damaged contacts cannot be removed from the connector. The entire connector must be removed from the pc
board and replaced with a new one.
3.11. Removal
When removing connectors, the pc board must be placed on a board support that provides support all around
the housing of the connector to be removed. The board support must not interfere with or damage any other
components on the pc board. An even force must be applied to all contact pins with a flat rock and press
capable of applying 800 N [180 lb]. See Figure 12.
Connectors must not be re--used after being removed from the pc board.

4. QUALIFICATION
UPM connectors are Component Recognized by Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL) and CSA International
under File E28476 and Component Recognized by UL and CSA International for AC current interruption.
UPM connectors have successfully met the requirements given in the following documents released by the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and Telcordia.
IEC 61076--4, “Connectors with Assessed Quality for Use in D.C., Low--Frequency Analogue and in Digiatal
High--Speed Data Applications — Part 4: Sectional Specification for Printed Board Connectors”
Telcordia GR--1217--Core, “Generic Requirements for Separable Electrical Connectors Used in
Telecommunications Hardware”

5. TOOLING
Tooling part numbers and instructional material packaged with the tooling are shown in Figure 13.
5.1. Robotic Equipment
Robotic equipment for placement of connectors on a pc board must have a true position accuracy of 0.13 to
ensure proper location and insertion of the contact pins. This includes gripper and fixture tolerances as well as
equipment repeatability. It must use the connector datum surface to ensure reliable connector placement.
For assistance in setting up prototype or production line equipment, contact your local Representative or call the
TOOLING ASSISTANCE CENTER at the number at the bottom of page 1.
5.2. Manual Arbor Frame
The available manual arbor frames are capable of supplying the required force needed to seat and remove the
connectors using a seating tool or flat rock and pc board support.
5.3. Seating Tool
The seating tool is used to provide a surface to accept the force required to seat a vertical receptacle or guide
module. For the vertical receptacle, the seating tool is designed to allow pressure to be applied evenly on the
contact shoulders and prevent the pins from being pushed out of the housing.
5.4. PC Board Support
A pc board support must be used to prevent bowing of the pc board during seating of the connectors. It should
have a flat surface with holes or a channel large enough to receive the contact pins.
5.5. Flat Rock and Housing Support
Commercially--available bar stock with a flat surface large enough to cover the top surface of a right--angle
header or right--angle receptacle can be used as a flat rock to seat it onto the pc board. The flat rock can also
be used to remove a connector from the pc board by pressing evenly on the end of the contact pins.
When removing a right--angle receptacle from the pc board, a housing support with sides and ends as close as
possible to the size of the housing is recommended.
Connectors must not be re--used after being removed from the pc board.
