centerline 26 AWG [0.40
mm] (solid); 28 AWG [0.08-
0.09 mm2] (stranded); 28
AWG [0.32 mm] (solid) or
30 AWG [0.25 mm] (solid)
copper ribbon cable,
including certain twisted
pair types from .032-.045
[0.81-1.14] thick
■ Available in standard
connectors, preassembled
and loose-piece shielded
The CHAMP Latch Low-
Profile Connector comes
ready to use—just slide the
cable in and squeeze. The
underside of the strain relief
cover is fluted to assist in
proper cable orientation.
Plastic “barbs’’ sticking up
from the connector body
act as guides for proper
cable alignment during
insertion. When terminated,
these “barbs’’ pierce the
cable insulation between
the conductors and lock on
to the strain relief cover.
Another advantage to this
connector is its overall
assembled dimension (.820
[20.83]), which takes up
less space inside or outside
of the equipment.
Standard connectors are
available in 14-, 24-, 36- and
50-position plugs or receptacles.
Shielded CHAMP Latch
Connector version receptacles
are available loose
piece and preassembled in
24, 36, and 50 positions. A
64-position plug or receptacle
can be supplied with an
assembled height of 1.130
[28.70]. For 64-position plug
and receptacle part numbers
and specifications,
contact Tyco Electronics at
the numbers listed below.
CHAMP Latch Connectors
provide a fast, reliable
means of mass terminating
.050 [1.27] centerline ribbon
cable without timeconsuming
soldering and
prestripping of wire. They
are capable of terminating
26 AWG [0.40 mm] (solid);
28 AWG [0.08-0.09 mm2]
(stranded) 28 AWG [0.32
mm] (solid) or 30 AWG
[0.25 mm] (solid) copper
ribbon cable.
Termination of CHAMP
Latch Low Profile
Connectors is accomplished
in a simple onestep
operation using the
appropriate CHAMP Latch
tooling. See page 132. The
ability to make “daisy
chain’’ terminations requires
nothing more than depressing
the stop bar on the
hand tool or repositioning
the stop bar provided on
the base plate for the manual
applicator.
The housings and covers
are constructed of black
thermoplastic. The terminals
are gold over nickel plated
high strength copper alloy
on the mating face and gold
flash over nickel plate on
the terminating side. The
mating face consists of 2
rows of terminals on .085
[2.16] centers. Terminating
side consists of terminals on
.100 [2.54] centers for an
effective .050 [1.27] staggered
termination. EMI
Shield, for Shielded Connectors,
are die cast zinc
with nickel plating.
Connector hardware kits are
available for Cable-to-Cable
(Screw Lock, Bail Lock and
CHAMP-LOK connectors)
applications, and Cable-to-
Panel (Screw Lock, Bail
Lock, Metric Screw Lock for
IEEE-488 Applications and
CHAMP-LOK connector)
applications.
Note: CHAMP Latch
connectors have been
tested on a wide variety
of .050 [1.27] centerline
cables conforming to
Tyco Electronics drawings
746395, 746396 and 86901.
If cables other than those
specified are used, forward
sample of cable for approval
to Tyco Electronics at the
address listed at the back
of this catalog.
