performance requirements of this specification.
5.2.1 Contact. The contact shall be Phosphor Bronze Alloy UNS C51000 in accordance with
ASTM B-159.
5.2.2 Insulator. The insulator shall be glass filled polyester in accordance with MIL-M-24519,
Type GPT-30F, all plastic material shall be rated V-0 in accordance with UL-94.
5.3 Finish
5.3.1 The finish on the contact shall be as specified herein for the particular type (see 2.0 ) of connector
under consideration.
5.3.2 Types 1 through III. The contact shall be plated with the specified minimum thickness (see 2.0) of
gold in accordance with MIL-G-45204, Type II Grade C over 50 microinches, minimum of nickel in
accordance with QQ-N-290, Class 2.
5.3.3 Type IV. The contact shall be plated with 150 microinches, minimum thickness (See 2.0) of
Palladium Nickel.
5.3.4 Type V & VI. The contact shall be plated with the specified minimum thickness (see 2.0) of
Palladium Nickel.
5.3.5 Type VII. The contact shall be plated on the mated end with the specified minimum thickness
(see 2.0) of gold in accordance with MIL-G-45204, Type II Grade C over 50 microinches,
minimum of nickel in accordance with QQ-N-290, Class 2. On the PCB side the contact shall be
plated with 150 microinches, minimum, of 93/7 tin-lead in accordance with ML-P-81728.
5.3.6 Type VIII. The contact shall be complaint press fit with the specified minimum thickness of plating

5.4 Design and Construction
The connector shall be a multi-piece assembly having two rows of contacts, on a rectangular grid of
.100 inch. The connector is designed with solder tail termination for installation in .040 inch diameter
holes in printed wiring boards with recommended thickness of .063 inch to .125 inch. The slotted header
connector is also designed for press fit terminal having (3) three levels of wrap post length .310 inch,
.480 inch and .680 inch. For solderless connection in accordance with MIL-STD-1130, the
recommended PCB thickness is .093 inch to .187 inch having a diameter from .038 inch to .044 inch.
Both the solder tail and the press fit pin shall be available with all the plating types and thickness from
paragraph 2.0 type description.
5.4.1 Wrap Post/Mating Contact. The wrap post geometry shall be in accordance with MIL-STD-1130.
Both tips of the contact shall be beveled to facilitate insertion into the bit of the wire wrap tooling or
into the mating female contact.

5.4.2 Workmanship. Connectors shall be uniform in quality and shall be free from burns, scratches,
cracks, voids, chips, blisters, pin holes, sharp edges, and other defects that will adversely affect
life or serviceability.
5.4.3 Interchangeability. The connector shall be capable of mating with corresponding components
from any source, provided those components are of the same contact population spacing, and
guide post polarization.
6.0 ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
6.1 Current Rating. The maximum current rating of the connector shall be 3.0 amperes D.C. The mated
maximum current rating shall be 3.0 amperes D.C. or less depending on the current rating characteristics
for the mated connector.
6.2 Insulation Resistance. The insulation resistance of the unmated and unterminated connector shall not be
less than 5000 Megohms after exposure to the humidity environment described in Para. 8.1 when
measured in accordance with MIL-STD-1344, Method 3003. The following details shall apply:
a. Test condition - 500 volts D.C. applied for (1) minute.
b. Points of Measurement - Between individually paired adjacent contacts.
6.3 Dielectric Withstanding Voltage. There shall be no evidence of arc-over, insulation breakdown or
excessive leakage current (> 1 milliampere) when the unmated connectors are tested in accordance with
MIL-STD-1344, Method 3001. The following details shall apply:
a. Test Potential - 750 Volts RMS 60 HZ at sea level pressure.
b. Test duration - 60 seconds
c. Points of measurement – between individually paired adjacent and opposing contacts.
6.4 Capacitance. The capacitance between pairs of adjacent or opposing contacts in an unmated connector
shall not exceed 2.0 picofarads when measured in accordance with MIL-STD-202, Method 305, at a
frequency of 100 Kilohertz.
6.5 Low-Level Circuit Resistance. The low-level circuit resistance between the compliant press-fit pins and
the plated-through hole, when the connector assembly is pressed on a printed circuit board in
accordance with Para. 9.9, shall not exceed 0.2 milliohms (0.5 milliohms after environmental
conditioning), when measured in accordance with MIL-STD-1344, Method 3002. The following details
shall apply:
a.
b.
c.
d.
e.
Test conducted on the pins at the extreme end of the insulator.
Test current – 100 MA, maximum (short-circuit)
