ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Current Rating: 5 A
Test Voltage Between Contacts:
At sea level: 1800 V
RMS
At 70 000 feet (21 336 meters): 450 V
RMS
Insulation Resistance: 5000 MΩ minimum (at 500 V
DC
potential)
Contact Resistance: (voltage drop) 30 mV maximum at
rated current with gold flash
PHYSICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Number of Contacts: 6, 10, 12, 15, 18, or 22
Contact Spacing: 0.156" (3.96 mm)
Card Thickness: 0.054" to 0.070" (1.37 mm to 1.78 mm)
Card Slot Depth: 0.330" (8.38 mm)
FEATURES
• 0.156" (3.96 mm) C-C
• Modified tuning fork contacts have chamfered lead-in to
reduce wear on printed circuit board contacts without
sacrificing contact pressure and wiping action
• Accepts PC board thickness of 0.054" to 0.070" (1.37 mm
to 1.78 mm)
• Polarization on or between contact positions in all sizes.
Between contact polarization permits polarizing without
loss of a contact position
• Polarizing key is reinforced nylon, may be inserted by
hand, requires no adhesive
• Protected entry, provided by recessed leading edge of
contact, permits the card slot to staighten and align the
board before electrical contact is made. Prevents damage
to contacts which might be caused by warped or out of
tolerance boards
• Optional terminal configurations, including eyelet (type A),
dip-solder (types B, C, D, R), Wire Wrap™ (types E, F)
• Connectors with type A, B, C, D, or R contacts are
recognized under the Component Program of
Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. listed under file
E65524, project 77CH3889
APPLICATIONS
For use with 0.062" (1.57 mm) printed circuit boards requiring
an edgeboard type connector on 0.156" (3.96 mm) centers

BETWEEN CONTACT
POLARIZATION
ON CONTACT POLARIZATION
Required only when polarizing
key(s) are to be factory installed.
Polarization key replaces contact.
When polarizing key(s) replaces
contact(s), indicate by adding suffix
“9” to contact position(s) desired.
Example: A9, J9 means keys
replace terminals A and J
Required only when polarizing key(s) are to be
factory installed.
Polarization key positions: Between contact
polarization key(s) are located to the right of the
contact position(s) desired.
Example: A, J means keys between A and B,
and J and K
