1. INTRODUCTION

This instruction sheet covers contact and wire

selection, application tooling, and attaching hardware

for AMPLIMITE High Density (HDP–20) Connectors

shown in Figure 1. Read these instructions thoroughly

before assembling any connectors.

All dimensions on this document are in metric

units [with U.S. customary units in brackets].

Figures and illustrations are for reference only

and are not drawn to scale.

Reasons for reissue of this document are provided in

Section 6, REVISION SUMMARY.

2. DESCRIPTION

(Figure 1)

The connectors are designed for rear insertion and

extraction of size 20, precision formed contacts. The

HDP–20 connectors feature steel shells and black

polymer inserts with plastic contact retention tines.

3. CONTACTS

(Figure 2)

3.1. Selection

Refer to the table in Figure 2, and select strip or

loose–piece pin and socket contacts according to the

wire size and insulation diameter to be used.

Notice that each contact cavity is number–coded

(front and back). Make certain that the cavities of the

plug are a mirror image of the receptacle. Insert pin

contacts into the back of plug and mating socket

contacts into the back of the receptacle. If all cavities

are not used, distribute contacts evenly throughout

connector.

3.2. Crimping

Strip–form contacts are designed to be crimped with a

semi–automatic or automatic machine and applicator.

Consult your local Tyco Electronics Representative

for assistance in selecting the machine and applicator

for your application.

Loose–piece precision formed contacts are designed

to be crimped with the hand crimping tools listed in

the table in Figure 2. Refer to the instruction sheet

packaged with the tool, for specific crimping

procedure and tool inspection information.

3.3. Insertion and Extraction

Insertion/Extraction Tools 91067–2 (Instruction Sheet

408–7508) and 91285–1 (Instruction Sheet

408–9404) are designed for both pin and socket

contacts. The 91067–2 tool is used with contacts for

wire size 24 to 20 AWG and the 91285–1 tool is used

with contacts for wire size 28 to 24 AWG.

4. HARDWARE

A shield and cable clamp assembly is used with the

connector to house the cable or wire projecting from

the rear of the connector and for strain relief of the

cable or wires. For additional information concerning

the use of the shield and cable clamp assembly, refer

to Instruction Sheet 408–7555.

Shielded cable clamp kits for AMPLIMITE HDP–20

connectors used with braid and foil–shielded cables

are available in all connector sizes. The cable clamps

may be used with latching blocks (208101, 745245,

and 745286) and spring latches (745255–1) for

panel–mounted or free–hanging applications. Refer to

Instruction Sheet 408–6609 for additional information.

A male screw retainer kit (5205980–1) and a female

screwlock kit (5205817–1) are used to secure mating

connectors in panel–mounted or free–hanging

applications. Refer to Instruction Sheet 408–7837 for

information.

A slide latch post kit (5206514–1) and a slide latch

clip kit (5206942–1) are also used to secure mating

connectors in panel–mounted or free–hanging

applications. For additional information, refer to

Instruction Sheet 408–6551.

Slide latch post kits and slide latches for all

AMPLIMITE HDP–20 connector sizes are available

for panel–mounted and free–hanging applications.

Refer to Instruction Sheet 408–6551 for slide latch

and slide latch post application procedure and

information.

5. PANEL CUTOUT

Before making the panel cutout, refer to Application

Specification 114–40030 to determine the number of

positions in the connector, whether it will be used with

a cable clamp or side latch, and what the required

dimensions and clearances must be.
