3.10. PC Board Connectors
The boardlocks in these connectors have gripping shoulders that pass through the pc board at the same time
the contact solder–tails are inserted through the board. They retain the housing seated on the board.
3.11. Ancillary Items
A. PC Board Mounting Hardware
The procedure for attaching connectors will depend on whether the connector flange has through holes or
mounting hardware. See Figure 9.
D
Connector Flanges with Through Holes
Attach connector to pc board using commercially available hardware such as screws, washers, and
nuts, removable screwlocks, rivets, or other suitable hardware. Threaded hardware should be torqued to
a value of 0.45 N
D
m [4 in–lb]. The connectors must not be secured with incompatible, dissimilar metals
without appropriate interface treatment.
D
Connector Flanges with Threaded Hardware
Threaded inserts have 4–40 threads and accept the same types of mounting hardware (removable
screwlocks, common screws, cross–recessed screws, etc.). If a removable insert is used with one of
these connectors, it should be tightened to a torque value of
0.45 N
D
m [4 in–lb].
B. Mating Connector Hardware
Connectors with nonremovable screwlocks can be secured to mating connectors with commercially
available 4–40 hardware. Connectors with nonremovable 4–40 threaded inserts in the mounting flange can
be attached to the mounting panel with commercially available 4–40 hardware. The torque limit for
hardware used to secure mating connectors to each other is 0.23 N
D
m [2 in–lb].

3.12. Shielding
These connectors feature nickel–plated steel shells which provide continuity for EMC (Electro Magnetic
Compatibility) applications. When mated with corresponding metal shell connectors, shielding and grounding
continuity are achieved. Use of screws and nuts or retention inserts provide electrical continuity to any ground
path on the pc board inclusive of hardware mounting holes.
3.13. Connector Placement
The connector should be handled only by the housing to avoid deformation, contamination, or other damage to the
solder-tails.
Determine which hole in the pc board is to receive the number one contact solder–tail, then orient the
connector so the number one solder–tail is aligned with the hole. Start all solder–tails into the board; then,
when the boardlock starts to engage the board, press evenly on the connector until it seats on the pc board.
After the connector is snapped into the pc board, the boardlocks are soldered with the connector solder–tails
during the soldering process.
3.14. Soldering
A. Flux Selection
Contact solder–tails must be fluxed prior to soldering with a mildly active flux. Selection of the flux will
depend on the type of pc board and other components mounted on the board. Additionally, the flux must
be compatible with the wave solder line, manufacturing, health, and safety requirements.

C. Cleaning
After soldering, removal of fluxes, residues, and activators is necessary. Consult with the supplier of the
solder and flux for recommended cleaning solvents. The following is a listing of common cleaning solvents
that will not affect the connectors for the time and temperature specified. See Figure 11.
Cleaners must be free of dissolved flux and other contaminants. We recommend cleaning with the pc
board on its edge. If using an aqueous cleaner, we recommend standard equipment such as a soak–tank
or an automatic in–line machine.
Consideration must be given to toxicity and other safety requirements recommended by the solvent manufacturer.
Refer to the manufacturer's Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for characteristics and handling of cleaners.
Trichloroethylene and Methylene Chloride can be used with no harmful affect to the connectors; however Tyco
Electronics does not recommend them because of the harmful occupational and environmental effects. Both are
carcinogenic (cancer-causing) and Trichloroethylene is harmful to the earth's ozone layer.
If you have a particular solvent that is not listed, contact the Tooling Assistance Center or Product Information number
at the bottom of page 1.
