M <strong>Series</strong><br />
<strong>Pin</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Socket</strong> <strong>Connectors</strong><br />
Material Specifications<br />
C o n t a c t s<br />
The material composition<br />
<strong>and</strong> construction of AMP<br />
contacts encompass varying<br />
price ranges <strong>and</strong> performance<br />
characteristics.<br />
Specific materials <strong>and</strong> available<br />
platings <strong>and</strong> plating<br />
thicknesses of each contact<br />
type are provided on individual<br />
contact pages in the<br />
Contact section (pages 30<br />
thru 43). A brief description<br />
of each contact type is presented<br />
on pages 26 through<br />
29. Also, typical performance<br />
data of M <strong>Series</strong><br />
connectors <strong>and</strong> contacts is<br />
shown below.<br />
H o u s i n g s<br />
M <strong>Series</strong> connector housings<br />
are made of either diallyl<br />
phthalate (blue), general<br />
purpose phenolic (black)<br />
or polyester (black).<br />
Diallyl phthalate housings<br />
are molded of material per<br />
MIL-M-14, Type SDG. These<br />
housings are ideally suited<br />
for use where adverse environmental<br />
conditions are an<br />
important factor. Their<br />
advantages include exceptional<br />
stability; excellent<br />
resistance to acids, alkalies<br />
<strong>and</strong> solvents; low moisture<br />
absorption; <strong>and</strong> good<br />
dielectric strength.<br />
Dimensions are in inches <strong>and</strong> millimeters<br />
unless otherwise specified.<br />
Values in brackets are metric equivalents.<br />
Phenolic housings are<br />
molded of material per<br />
MIL-M-14, Type CFG. The<br />
performance characteristics<br />
of these housings make<br />
them an excellent choice<br />
for applications in which<br />
exceptional resistance to<br />
acids, alkalies or solvents<br />
is not of prime concern.<br />
Polyester housings are<br />
molded from a high temperature<br />
thermoplastic material<br />
per ASTM D3220. Polyester<br />
housings provide the high<br />
temperature characteristics<br />
of diallyl phthalate <strong>and</strong> phenolic,<br />
but with a higher<br />
impact strength.<br />
H a r d w a r e<br />
A variety of materials such<br />
as plated steel, stainless<br />
steel <strong>and</strong> aluminum, are<br />
used in the construction of<br />
M <strong>Series</strong> connector hardware.<br />
This provides for the<br />
proper operation <strong>and</strong> durability<br />
of each hardware<br />
component, while offering a<br />
choice of economies to satisfy<br />
particular application<br />
requirements. The materials<br />
of each hardware component<br />
are specified on the<br />
individual hardware component<br />
pages in the Hardware<br />
section (pages 78 through<br />
89).<br />
