Restriction on the use of
Hazardous Substances
(RoHS)
At Tyco Electronics, we’re
ready to support your RoHS
requirements. We’ve
assessed more than 1.5
million end
items/components for RoHS
compliance, and issued
new part numbers where
any change was required to
eliminate the restricted
materials.
Part numbers in this catalog
are RoHS Compliant, unless
marked otherwise. These
products comply with
European Union Directive
2002/95/EC, as amended
1 January 2006, that
restricts the use of lead,
mercury, cadmium, hexava-
lent chromium, PBB, and
PBDE in certain electrical
and electronic products
sold into the EU as of 1 July
2006.
Note: For purposes of this
Catalog, included within
the definition of RoHS
Compliant are products that
are clearly “Out of Scope”
of the RoHS Directive such
as hand tools and other
non-electrical accessories.
Information regarding RoHS
compliance is provided
based on reasonable
inquiry of our suppliers and
represents our current
actual knowledge based on
the information provided by
our suppliers. This informa-
tion is subject to change.
For latest compliance
status, refer to our website
referenced at right.

Introduction
AMP Soft Shell Pin and
Socket Connectors provide
a highly reliable and eco-
nomic means of grouping
multiple-lead connections in
today’s computer, computer/
peripheral equipment,
business machines, enter-
tainment centers, appliances
and other sophisticated
commercial equipment.
The electrical connector is an
integral component in these
applications. They also
offer worldwide application
approval because of their
reliability and economy.
Electrical functions have
increased in complexity
and new designs continually
call for the maximum use of
space. The Soft Shell Pin and
Socket family of connectors
offers the design and features
to answer these modern
industry requirements.
This catalog is organized by
contact centerline spacing
(High Density and Standard
Density) to provide you
with the basic information
necessary to select the
Soft Shell connector system
best suited for your specific
application. It contains gen-
eral information to acquaint
you with the complete
family of connectors and
application tooling.
Since your specific
application will determine
the degree of automatic,
semiautomatic or manual
application tooling required,
complete specifications are
covered on pages 207-204.
