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. FEATURES AND BENEFITS PRODUCT APPLICATIONS • 2 kinds of termination method: IDC, Crimp • Business Equipment • Discrete wire interconnect • Industrial Machines • Circuits range from 2-15 single row, • PC • • • • • 8-30 dual row AWG 22~30 Kinks for self-retention on boards RoHS compliant Many components are recognized under the component program of Underwriters Laboratories Inc., file No. E28476 Certified by Canadian Standards Association, File No. LR 7189 te.com/products/ct • Printer • Fax • C-TV • Audio • Air conditioner • Anywhere where signals or power are routed TE Connectivity AMP CT Connector Series 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.

What special retention mechanisms are available to help ensure More flexibility with AWG when using Crimp vs. MT. Crimp housings PCB stability? accept 22-30 AWG and MT housings accept 24-28 AWG. Most of the T/H headers have kinked legs, and the SMT headers have Are the connectors available for IDC? Yes, we offer a MT version that is preloaded with IDC contacts. Is your process automated? MT housings are more suitable for automated processes. Where can I find information on current rating, voltage and operating temperatures? Please see Product Specification Information on page 5 of this Quick Reference Guide. solder tabs to help ensure PCB stability. What are my tooling options? TE offers comprehensive tooling options including Manual Pistol-Grips, manual Mini-Press, Pneumatic Mini-press, Semi-Auto DECAM and an Automatic DECAM tool. For more information, please visit tooling.te.com What is the benefit of choosing Box over Std type headers? Box type headers have an extra wall, that is a more reliable connector design intended to prevent stubbing. Which is a more standard header, with or without a locating boss? The most standard headers tend to have a locating boss as it makes it easier for the customer to align the connector onto their board.
