Frequently Asked Questions

What is the current rating per contact for this system?

The AMPMODU system is rated at 3 amperes maximum per contact, dependent upon the mating connector.

What is the centerline spacing for the AMPMODU interconnect system?

The AMPMODU interconnect system features a 0.100 [2.54] x 0.100 [2.54] centerline spacing.

What is the centerline spacing for the AMPMODU 0.025 [0.64] square interconnection system?

The AMPMODU 0.025 [0.64] square interconnection system uses a 0.100 [2.54] centerline.

What is the operating temperature range for AMPMODU housings?

The operating temperature range for black thermoplastic housings is -65°C to +105°C.

What are the available contact platings for AMPMODU products?

Available platings include various gold thicknesses (0.00015, 0.00030, 0.00050 inches) over nickel, and tin plating.

What is the post plating for standard unshrouded headers?

Posts are copper alloy, selectively plated with gold (0.00030 or 0.00015 inches) on the contact area, with gold flash over nickel on the entire post.

What is the purpose of the anti-overstress stops in the receptacle contact?

Anti-overstress stops limit the deflection of the spring members, preventing excessive permanent deformation and allowing for a wide tolerance of misalignment.

What wire sizes are compatible with Mod IV, V, and MT product families?

Mod IV, V, and MT product families are compatible with 26-22 AWG [0.3-0.05 mm2] wire, and 32-20 AWG [0.03-0.6 mm2] wire for crimp snap-in receptacles.

Are there specific recommendations for contact lubricant?

TE recommends customers use contact lubricant for products that will be soldered and then cleaned, as it is not part of the manufacturing process for these items.

What are the available mating post lengths for Mod IV vertical board mount receptacles?

For Mod IV vertical board mount receptacles, mating post lengths range from 183-255 [4.65-6.48] for low profile, single row, top entry, and 280-* [7.11-*] for low profile, single row, bottom entry.

How to Crimp and Install AMPMODU MOD IV Receptacle Contacts

This guide provides detailed instructions for preparing wires, crimping AMPMODU MOD IV, IV1/2, and V receptacle contacts, and securely installing them into compatible AMPMODU MOD IV housings.

Estimated time: 45m

Tools needed:

Wire Strippers, Hand Crimping Tool (refer to Figure 9 for specific model), Calipers

Supplies needed:

AMPMODU MOD IV, IV1/2, or V Receptacle Contacts, AMPMODU MOD IV Housings, Wire (32-20 AWG)

  1. Prepare the Wire

    Determine the correct strip length for your specific wire gauge and contact type by consulting Figure 2 in the application specification. Carefully strip the insulation from the wire to the specified length. CAUTION: Do not nick, scrape, or cut the wire conductor during the stripping operation.

  2. Crimp the Receptacle Contact

    Select the appropriate hand crimping tool based on your wire size and contact type; refer to Figure 9 for specific tool part numbers and associated documentation. Position the contact in the crimping tool according to the tool's instructions. Insert the prepared wire into the contact's wire barrel until the insulation abuts the insulation barrel. Actuate the crimping tool to terminate the contact onto the wire. CAUTION: Ensure the wire insulation is not cut or broken, and the insulation is not crimped into the contact's wire barrel.

  3. Inspect the Crimped Contact

    Visually inspect the crimped contact for proper formation. Verify that the crimp height and length are within the dimensions provided in Figure 2 and Figure 3. Confirm that front and rear bellmouths are evident and conform to Figure 3. Ensure the insulation barrel firmly grips the wire insulation without cutting or damaging it. Verify that both the wire conductor and insulation are visible in the transition area between the wire and insulation barrels (Figure 3). Check that the wire barrel seam is closed with no loose wire strands visible. Confirm there is no significant twist, roll, deformation, or excessive bending (Figures 4, 5, 6) in the mating portion of the contact.

  4. Insert Crimped Contact into Housing

    Align the crimped contact with the desired cavity in the AMPMODU MOD IV housing. Push the contact into the housing until the locking lance engages and the contact is securely seated. Verify that the contact is locked in place and the housing is not cracked or damaged (Figure 10).
