10.0 Reference Documents : N/A
11.0 Notes and Definitions
Insulator Bar
The bar, available as an option in a double row horizontal connector, prohibits contact between the tip of a
pin,mated with a bottom row terminal, and the tail of the upper row terminal immediately above
Total Mating Force
The higher population connectors may, because of their size, prohibit manual mating or un-mating of the
header with its header. This condition represents a human limitation and not necessarily a connector
malfunction. ( See 7.1 )
Contact Resistance
Differences in contact resistances between various terminal configurations represent changes in the bulk
resistance due to longer lengths of current paths; correction for these differences in bulk resistance will
permit comparison of results for different styles of terminal. ( See 6.1 & 6.2 )
Termination
The type of printed wiring board and the geometry of its land areas will affect this parameter; for this reason,
this sample has not been terminated. ( See Figure 5 )
Alloy 725 Solderability
Efforts to provide >95% solderability using mildy active fluxes with this alloy have proven futile. This
coverage is possible with more active fluxes, but they present corrosion problems if not adequately removed
by cleaning.(See 8.9 )
Lubrication of Card Connectors
All gold plated contact systems have been found to be improved by suitable lubrication which enhance
durability and lower insertion forces. The PV’s in this product are not lubricated during manufacture. After
the soldering and cleaning operation, it is advisable to lubricate the connector system if durability and low
insertion forces are important to the application. The recommended lubrication is Nye 176 oil as a 5%
solution in a vanishing type solution. This mixture may be applied by brushing, sponging, dipping or spraying.
It can be applied to either the card connector or the pin field with equal effectiveness. The preferred method
is to dip the pin field in the , mixture and then allow the vanishing solution to evaporate; this is the most
economical method for using the lubricant. If this is not possible, then an absorbent brush or roller may be
used to apply the liquid to the pins.
The roller can also be used to apply lubricant to the card connector itself. Another method is to dip a pin field
in
the solution and transfer it immediately to the card connector, inserting just enough to deposit a small droplet
on each contact .
The connector can be dipped into a container but care must be taken not to transfer an excessive amount of
lubricant. The lead-in window s of the connector should be touched to the surface and the mixture will wick
up into the contact area. The excess liquid should be blown off.
It is vital that commercial “ contact cleaner-lubricants “ not be used, as these materials have virtually no
lubricants in them and the cleaning action will cause immediate severe wear and increase the insertion force
as much as three times normal.
