Design and Construction
5.4.1
Description
The receptacle connector shall be of design, construction, and physical dimensions
specified on the applicable product drawings. The receptacle connector shall be of
multiple-piece construction having self stripping/exposing contact terminations for flat,
flexible, round conductor cable on 1 millimeter centers. The contact shall have one
single-ended cantilever member for interfacing with a header contact. The header contact
is defined as a square wire pin with a smoothly beveled or tapered tip, and a 0.50mm
(0.505 to 0.516 typ) millimeter square or round cross sectional shape. The pin length is
3.50mm minimum to 4.50 maximum (4.00mm nominally). The header shall meet the
header requirements stated in DPS-12-011.
5.4.2
Installation
The assembled connector shall simultaneously terminate up to 50 wires size AWG #28
(stranded) on 1.0 millimeter centers without pre-stripping the PVC (poly vinyl chloride)
insulation. The cable shall conform to the requirements of specification BUS-12-116.
5.4.3
Keying
An optional molded-in keying feature shall be available to insure correct orientation of the
receptacle connector and a mating header.
5.4.4
Friction Latch
An optional molded in friction latch shall be available in conjunction with the keying feature
to help secure the receptacle connector to appropriate Minitektm shrouded headers.
5.4.5
Polarization
An optional plug shall be available for installation in individual receptacle positions to
permit selective identification, polarization, or programming.
5.4.6
Mating
The connector shall be capable of mating and unmating by hand without the use of
special tools within the specified temperature range.
5.4.7
Strain relief
An optional strain relief shall be available to protect the receptacle terminations against
pull and flexing forces.
