HOW TO SELECT AN AMP MINI 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.

Example Base Part Number| Your criteria| Example Position to Dash Selection| End Part Number Based On Criteria
---|---|---|---
| | Position| 8| 9| 10| 11| 12|
353293| You require an 8 position MT housing| Dash Number| -8| -9| -10| -11| -12| 353293-8
353293| You require a 12 position MT housing| Dash Number| -8| -9| -10| -11| -12| 1-353293-2

AMP MINI CT CONNECTOR STYLES

DUAL ROW ASSEMBLIES

Two single row receptacle housings, either MT or crimp, that use a holder to mate with a dual row header.

SOLDER PAD

Designed to secure the SMT headers onto the PCB

LOCATING BOSS

A mechanical feature that helps orient the headers onto the PCB.

PANEL-MOUNT

Transmits signal through a notch in a panel or a PCB and requires two housings to complete a circuit.

SMT INVERTED THRU BOARD

Positioned thrrough a cutout or notch in a PCB and requires only one housing to complete a circuit. The innovative design avoids wire dress management issues.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What wire gauge will you be using?

There is more flexibility with AWG when using Crimp (24~28 AWG) vs. MT (26~28 AWG).

Are the connectors available for IDC?

Yes, we offer an MT version that is preloaded with IDC contacts.

Is your process automated?

MT housings are suitable for automated processes.

What current, voltage and operating temperature is required?

Please see product specification information on the charts on page 8 of this document.

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

What special retention mechanisms are available to provide stability?

These product’s T/H headers have a staggered tine design to provide stability.

What are my tooling options?

What if my application is constrained for space with the 1.5 mm AMP Mini

CT?

TE continues to develop and design interconnects that meet the needs of miniaturized applications. If your application is constrained for space, take a look at our AMP Micro CT product line.

Does TE offer pre-made cable assemblies?

Yes, we do offer single ended AMP Mini CT pigtails in various lengths often used in lighting applications. Please reference part number 2058943-x.
