INTRODUCTION This instruction sheet (IS) covers the AMP autowire contacts and connectors shown in Figure 1. 2. DESCRIPTION (Figure 1) The contacts and connectors are available in two types: (1) Special autowire housings with cavities on .200 centertines that use special autowire posted pin contacts. The housings have square cavities. The contacts have two large fins that prevent them from rotating in the cavity. (The 112- position connector has cavities on staggered .250 centerlines.} (2) Standard M Series housings with cavities on .150 centeriines that use standard posted pin and socket contacts. These connec- All dimensions on this sheet are in inches. * Trademark of AMP incorporated Copyright 1986, 1987 by AMP Incorporated.

A stabilizer ring prevents rota- tion of the contact in the cavity. Connectors are usually supplied with contacts factory-loaded, although pin and socket contacts are also available in loose-piece form. Contacts are available with the following options: ,025?; .022 x .036; .031 x .062; or .045? post sizes. Termination by wire wrapping or TERMLPOINT * clips. Different post lengths to accommodate 1, 2, or 3 terminations. Variety of platings. by After assembly, posts can be terminated by hand, by semi-automatic machine, or by automatic machine.

See AMP Instruction Sheet IS 1817, packaged with the tool, for complete information on this tool. [caution | Because the centerline of the post is offset from the center of the cavity, the contacts must aff be inserted with the same orien- tation, particularly If the termination is to be made by semi-automatic or automatic machine, or if the posts are ta be inserted into a printed circuit board or panef. in other words, the seam of the stabilizer ring of standard contacts (or fins of special contacts} must point in the same direction for alf contacts. in some board-mounted apptica- tions, the posts will also need to be orented in relation to the mounting holes of the connector. See Figure 2. 1. Orient the contact with the connector cavity as shown in Figure 2 and partially insert it into the cavity.

Place the tip of the insertion tool against the shoulder of the stabilizing ring. The post will rest in the tool slot. See Figure 3. 3. Align the tool tip with the connector cavity and push the contact straight in until it bottoms in the cavity. 4. Insert all the contacts in this manner. Make sure each contact has the same orientation as those previously inserted. 5. Check to make sure that all contacts have the same orientation, and if a contact is incor- rectly oriented, remove and re-insert it. PAGE 2 OF 2 Fig. 3 4. CONTACT REMOVAL (Figure 4) Contacts are removed by using AMP Extraction Tool 305183. See AMP Instruction Sheet IS 1216, packaged with the tool, for complete information on the tool. 1. Place the end of the extraction tool sleeve over the end of the contact to be removed. 2. Push the sleeve into the cavity as far as it will go. The push rod will back out of the handle when the end of the contact is engaged. 3. Rotate the handle to ensure that the locking lances have released. 4. Keep the tool firmly bottomed in the cavity, and depress the push rod button. The contact will be ejected as the rod bottoms in the tool.
