Quick Reference Guide
AMP CT Connector Series
The AMP CT connectors are a miniature wire-to-board and wire-to-wire interconnect solution.
The AMP CT connector series has proven performance in its harness making capability. A variety
of harness-making machines are available ranging from hand tools for low volume production to
high-speed automatic crimping machines for medium to high volume productions. AMP high-speed
automatic crimping machines are easy to operate, eliminating the need for tedious work of changing
parts inside the equipment to adapt to changes in harness styles. Two types of housings are available,
including Crimp and Mass Terminated (MT), which are preloaded with insulation displacement
contacts. The box or shrouded headers are highly resistant to scooping at mating/unmating.

How to select an AMP CT connector part number
The charts on this page highlight the relationship between the number of contacts (positions) to the part number. Please see the sample chart below
that was designed to help you select the correct part number for your needs. For single digit position to dash numbers, attach the digit to the end
base number. For double digit position to dash numbers, attach the first digit to the front of the part number, add a dash and the base part number,
then follow the base part number with a dash and the second digit.
