1.3. Components
All pc board connectors are connected to pc boards by miniaturized ACTION PIN* contacts. In order to meet
the signal requirements, connectors can be stacked along the edge of the pc board as specified in
Paragraph 3.4.
All complete pc board connectors are equipped with guide and polarization posts. Connectors are also
available with a Multi–Purpose Center (MPC) which can be used with a coding device as specified in
Paragraph 3.6. These alignment features can also be used to guide connectors (Types B and E) which do not
have any alignment features.
Thirteen different Types (styles) of connector modules are defined:
S
Type A: 110 signal contacts, 50 mm length, with MPC, guiding and polarization
S
Type B: 125 signal contacts, 50 mm length/110 44 mm/95 38 mm
S
Type C: 55 signal contacts, 25 mm length, with guiding and polarization
S
Type A/B 125 signal contacts, 50 mm length with guide and polarization/110 44 mm /95 38 mm
S
Type L: 6 cavities for special contacts, 50 mm length, with MPC, guiding and polarization
S
Type M: 3 cavities for special contacts, 55 signal contacts, 50 mm length, with MPC, guiding and
polarization
S
Type N: 3 cavities for special contacts, 25 mm length, with guiding and polarization
S
Type M–MSC: 4 cavities for fiber–optic plugs, 55 signal contacts, 50 mm length with MPC, guiding and
polarization
S
Type L–MSC : 8 cavities for fiber–optic plugs, 50 mm length with MPC, guiding and polarization
S
Type D: 176 signal contacts, 50 mm length, with MPC, guiding and polarization/128 38 mm
S
Type E: 200 signal contacts, 50 mm length
S
Type F: 88 signal contacts, 25 mm length, with guiding and polarization
S
Type D/E: 200 signal contacts, 50 mm length with guide and polarization
Male connectors of Type A, B, C, A/B, and M have 5 rows of signal contacts, and D, E, F, and D/E have 8 rows
of signal contacts. Optionally they can have 2 additional rows for ground return. Female connectors of these
types always have 5 or 8 rows, a two–part ground return shield is also offered. Refer to Paragraph 3.7 or
Application Specification 114–19036 for ground return shield details.
Reduced–crosstalk shielding is based on signal transmission in wire–pairs. The shields are located between
the columns (chicklets) in the female connectors. The shielding between rows is accomplished by grounding
the entire row c. Reduced crosstalk shielding combined with ground return shields is applied mostly for
differential pairs. The special contact cavities used in Types L, N and M can be equipped with coax, power or
fiber–optic contacts, which must be separately ordered.
Figure 1 provides board–to–board and cable–to–board connector features and terms used throughout this
specification. Use these terms when corresponding with Tyco Electronics Representatives to facilitate

3. REQUIREMENTS
3.1. Safety
Do not stack component packages so high that the shipping containers buckle or deform.
3.2. Storage
A. Ultraviolet Light
Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet light may deteriorate the chemical composition used in the connector
material.
B. Shelf Life
The connectors should remain in the shipping containers until ready for use to prevent deformation to the
contacts. The connectors should be used on a first in, first out basis to avoid storage contamination that
could adversely affect connector performance.
C. Chemical Exposure Limitations
Do not store connectors or components near any chemical listed below as they may cause stress
corrosion cracking in the components.
Alkalies Ammonia Citrates Phosphates Citrates Sulfur Compounds
Amines Carbonates Nitrites Sulfur Nitrites Tartrates
3.3. Product Materials
All Z–PACK 2 mm HM Connector housings and chicklets are molded of UL94V–O rated, glass–filled
polyesters.
The signal pin contacts are phosphor bronze and plated at the contact interface with gold. The signal
receptacle contacts are copper alloy and plated at the contact interface with gold. All contacts have a nickel
underplate and tin or tin–lead plated press–fit leads.
Ground contacts are phosphor bronze and plated at the contact interface with gold. All contacts have a nickel
underplate and tin or tin–lead plated press–fit leads.
3.4. Stacking of Connectors
A complete connector is composed by stacking one or more connector modules, end to end. All types of
modules can be stacked provided the following rules are obeyed:
S
A module without guiding and polarization posts (Types B and E), shall only be used between modules
with guiding and polarization posts, otherwise it cannot cope with the allowed transverse and angular
misalignment.
S
Extension modules (Types C, F, and N) shall only be used at the bottom end of a connector, together
with at least one module with Multi–Purpose Center.
S
All modules are 50 mm long, except the extension modules, which are 25 mm, 38 mm, and 44 mm long.
S
Every module with a guiding and polarizing post has all the features of a complete connector and can be
used on its own.
3.5. Sequencing
In order to have an earlier engagement of specific contacts, three levels of contacts are defined. The following
rules apply to the usage of these levels:
S
Contact row b shall only be loaded with male contacts level 1 and 2. This is because the available inser-
tion depth of the free board connector is restricted in row b by the edge of the PC–board.
The use of level 3 contacts in row b will definitely lead to stubbing problems when used with right-angle receptacles.
S
To neutralize the effect of inclination on the sequencing, the contacts of a specific level shall be located
at the outer corners of the complete connector.

3.6. Coding
Coding devices are clicked into the Multi–Purpose Centers of the connector modules. They are polarized and
have sufficient clicking latches for fixed and free modules. A pair of tweezers is sufficient for easy mounting.
The coding devices are extractable by releasing the latches. This can be done by any object with a sharp point,
(e.g.) a small screwdriver. Only matching coding devices shall be equipped on mating connectors.
3.7. Shielding/Grounding
In case of the ground return connection the grounding rows (f and z) of the Male connectors shall be equipped
with level 3 contacts. Female connectors can be purchased with the upper ground return shield pre–applied.
3.8. Mid-Plane/Feedthrough
Applications utilizing a mid–plane connection will require a spacer and a shroud for the opposite side of the
connector.
3.9. PC Boards
A. Material
The allowed material for pc boards is glass–epoxy (NEMA grade G10, G11, FR 4, FR 5) corresponding to
DIN 7735 Hgw–Types or DIN 40802 EP–Types.
B. PC Board Thickness
Fixed boards shall have a thickness between 1.4 and 5.6 mm, free boards shall have a thickness between
1.4 and 4.2 mm. When using tin–plated product on pc boards less than 2 mm thick, contact Tyco
Electronics Product Information number at the bottom of page 1 for reduced insertion force product.
C. PC Board Layouts
Figure 5 shows typical layouts of pc boards.

3.11. Special Contacts
(Figure 7)
Tyco Electronics offers a variety of contacts which can be used with connector Types L, M, and N, and all
comply with DIN 41626 standardized 4.8 mm diameter contacts. Tyco Electronics Catalog 65911 offers
additional information regarding these contacts.
A. Power Contacts
Power contacts can either be applied to the pc board or used to terminate a wire. Depending on the type
used, power contacts are rated for 10–40 Amps and can be used as a first–mate, last break contact.
B. Coaxial Contacts
Coaxial contacts for both 50 and 75 ohm impedance are available and can either be applied to a pc board
or cable.
C. Fiber-Optic Plugs
MSC fiber–optic plugs can only be used with connector Types L–MSC, M–MSC, and M–MSC rev.

3.12. Connector Seating
The fixed board connectors are attached to the backplane and pressed into the pc board. These connectors
can only be mounted one way on the board. All modules, except modules B, A/B, E, and D/E have a location
peg for this purpose and Type B, A/B, E, and D/E modules can only be stacked in one way to them because
the modules are polarized. Care has to be taken to mount the Type B, A/B, E, and D/E connectors in the
proper direction.
Connectors must be inserted in such a way that a max. distance of 0.2 mm between the pc board surface and
the connector is obtained and a maximum difference in insertion depth of 0.1 mm between adjacent
connectors. Refer to Figure 8. Connectors must be inserted parallel to the board. For free board connectors
care should be taken to prevent exerting force on the front housing. The free board connector modules are
mounted along the edge and pressed into the pc board.
Where the board connector modules are sufficiently held on the pc board by their ACTION PIN contact
termination, location pegs are not provided. Location pegs are present on Type L, M, N. Fixed board
connectors Type A, C, D, and F only have a location peg to prevent wrong assembly.
Pressing the connectors in the pc board shall only be done by special tools. These tools can be mounted in
various insertion machines. See Section 5, TOOLING.

3.13. Shield Installation
A. Ground Return Shield
Ground return shields are only applied to the standard female connector. The upper shield is applied to the
connector by Tyco Electronics. Once the upper shield and connector are inserted in the pc board, the
lower ground return shield may be applied. See Application Specification 114–19036 for more details.
Figure 9 shows the connector with both shields applied.

B. Reduced Crosstalk Shielding
RC shielding is inside a female connector and does not need special application treatment.
3.14. Mating
Before mating or unmating connectors, electrical current shall be disconnected.
A. Misalignment and Inclination
In the direction perpendicular to the mating direction a misalignment of 2 mm may exist without any effect.
An inclination of 2° around the normal axis will not effect proper mating of the connectors. Tolerances can
be seen in Figure 10 and apply only when connectors with guide lugs are separated by only one Type B
or E module without lugs. Guiding and polarizing lugs at the MPC are of Types A, D, M, and L at the ends
of Types C, F, and N and also in the middle of Types A/B and D/E.

B. Mating Dimension
Full mating of connectors is necessary to ensure a good connection and to obtain the maximum signal
transmission performance. The fully–mated dimension from the top surface of the pc board to which the
pin header is mounted and the first row of contacts in the receptacle is given in Figure 11.

3.15. Repair/Replacement
A. Signal Contacts
Damaged signal contacts must not be used. If a damaged signal contact is evident, it must be removed
and replaced with a new one. Signal contacts can only be replaced in male connectors.
B. Power and Coaxial Contacts
Damaged power and coaxial contacts must not be used. If a damaged power or coaxial contact is evident,
it must be removed and replaced with a new one. Extraction tool 106242–1 may be used to remove these
contacts.
C. Fiber-Optic Contacts
Damaged fiber–optic contacts must not be used. If a damaged fiber–optic contact is evident, it must be
removed and replaced with a new one. For female fiber–optic contacts, a reaming tool (434779–1) is
required to remove the guide ridges used in the female housing.
D. Connectors
Damaged connectors and chicklets must not be used. If a damaged connector or chicklet is evident, the
entire connector must be removed and replaced with a new connector. To ensure plated through–hole
integrity, connectors should only be replaced no more than two times, or a max of three insertions per pc
board. Tools for removing connectors from pc boards are provided in Section 5, TOOLING.
4. QUALIFICATIONS
4.1. General
The Z–PACK 2 mm HM Interconnection System is qualified according to IEC 60512 and has been Recognized
by Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL) in File E28476, Vol. 54.
4.2. Part Qualification Levels
Tyco Electronics offers four different levels of performance based on industry standard qualifications. A

5. TOOLING
Figure 12 provides tooling part numbers related to the Z–PACK 2 mm HM Interconnection System.
S
PC Board Support
A pc board support must be used to prevent bowing of the pc board during the insertion of a connector
into the board. It should have flat surfaces with holes or a channel wide and deep enough to receive any
contact pins that may protrude below the pc board surface during installation of the connector.
S
Seating Tools
Seating tools have been designed to push on the contact and seat the connector on the pc board. The tool
will prevent contacts from backing out of the housing and prevent damage to the housing.
S
Power Units
Power units are automatic or semi–automatic machines used to assist in the application of a product.
A power unit supplies the force to seat the connector onto the pc board using seating tools. Power for the
insertion tool must be provided by application tools (with a ram) capable of supplying a minimum
downward force of 89 N [20 lbs] per contact. Total insertion force is dependent on the size of the
connector and number of connectors being simultaneously inserted.
S
Arbor Frame Assembly
Manual arbor frame assemblies are used to exert a downward force used to apply connectors to a pc
board using seating tools. Commercially made arbor frame assemblies are available.
