Guide to Selecting a <strong>PCB</strong> <strong>Circular</strong>Connector, Cont.<strong>Amphenol</strong><strong>Aerospace</strong>What Determines the Diameter of the <strong>PCB</strong> Tail?The outside diameter of the <strong>PCB</strong> tail is determined by the inside diameter of the plated through-holeon the board or flex print. The standard or most popular diameters are shown in the chart on the nextpage and are called out in the connector illustrations in this catalog.Standard diameters of <strong>PCB</strong> tailsConnector Series Size 16 Contact Size 20 Contact Size 22D ContactFor availability MIL-DTL-38999 of other contact diameters, .062 ±.001 consult <strong>Amphenol</strong>, .019 Sidney ±.001 NY..019 ±.001Should <strong>PCB</strong> Tails be Gold Plated or Pre-tinned?The standard <strong>PCB</strong> tails for MIL-DTL-38999 receptacles have gold plating,.00005 inches over nickel.<strong>Amphenol</strong> can substitute a pre-tinned version of these tails to facilitate the termination process. Thispre-tinning is a 60/40 lead-tin alloy. Call <strong>Amphenol</strong> for further information on pre-tinning and anyother plating of contacts not covered in this catalog.Would Flex Assemblies be Necessary or Beneficial for the Application?Flex print can radically simplify the assembly of a connector to a system, as well as eliminate wiringerrors. <strong>Amphenol</strong> offers connector flex assemblies through APC, <strong>Amphenol</strong> Printed Circuit division.Features and bene fits of using flex technology include:• Available for MIL-DTL-38999 (including filter EMI/EMP types) circular connectors• Sculptures ® Flexible Circuits with built-in terminations• Eliminates failures associated with crimped or solder-on contacts• Geometrically fit tight space requirements and create a self-lockingterminal padShould Other PC Tail Contact Types be Considered?Press-Fit <strong>Connectors</strong> with compliant pins are available which engage the platedthrough-holes in the board without the need for soldering. This optional contact styleoffers the following benefits:• Improved board processing time• Excellent temperature performance• Ideal for low-lead applicationsFor more information on Press-Fit connectors with compliant pins see page 557.Compliant Pin <strong>Contacts</strong> in aBayonet 38999 Catalog38999IIIHDDualokIIISJTAccessoriesAquaconHerm/Seal<strong>PCB</strong>HighSpeedFiberOptics<strong>Contacts</strong><strong>Connectors</strong>CablesEMI FilterTransient26482Matrix 283723 IIIMatrix|PyleSpecial Quadrax contacts have been designed with PC tails.
