3. REQUIREMENTS
3.1. Storage
A. Ultraviolet Light
Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet light may deteriorate the chemical composition used in the housing
material.
B. Reel Storage
When using reeled contacts, store coil wound reels horizontally and traverse wound reels vertically.
C. Shelf Life
Each connector is packaged and shipped in an individual antistatic tube container or tape and reel (SMT
only). To prevent damage to the housings and contact solder tines, the connectors should remain in the
container until ready for installation. Also, to prevent possible storage contamination and ensure maximum
solderability, the connectors should be used on a first in, first out basis.
D. Chemical Exposure
Do not store contacts near any of the following chemicals as they may cause stress corrosion.
Alkalies Ammonia Citrates Phosphates Citrates Sulfur Compounds
Amines Carbonates Nitrites Sulfides Nitrites Tartrates
Where the above environmental conditions exist, phosphor--bronze contacts are recommended instead of brass if
available.
3.2. Materials
AMPMODU MTE Receptacle and Header Connectors are constructed of black glass--filled thermoplastic,
UL94V--0. The receptacle and header contacts are made of phosphor bronze with the mating interface of the
contacts underplated with nickel and finished with gold or tin--lead plating. The MTE header’s solder tines have
a matte tin--lead plating on gold plated posts, and bright tin--lead plating on tin--lead plated posts.
3.3. Circuit Identification
AMPMODU MTE Connectors are marked with a V--shaped circuit number one identifier. See Figure 1.
3.4. Cable and Wire Selection and Preparation
Contact types, sizes, and tooling choices will effect the range of wire size available as shown in Figure 2.
These values apply whether using discrete wire, jacketed cable, slit ribbon cable, or slit round conductor flat
cable.
Discrete wires require no preparation for termination, but insulation displacement contacts must be used. Do not cut
the individual conductor insulation when stripping the outer cable jacket or braided shield.

3.5. Contact Termination
Refer to the appropriate documentation for tooling operation and application procedures. The following special
considerations apply to terminated contacts.
A. Terminating Head
In all tools except the terminating head used for the pistol--grip hand tool and pneumatic power assembly,
final contact insertion is done automatically by the tooling. Using the terminating head requires manual
removal of the carrier strip and manual contact insertion.
Tyco Electronics recommends that contacts be inserted after carrier strip removal. However, when using 8--position or
smaller housings, contacts may be mass inserted before removal of the carrier strip. See Figure 3.

3.8. Connector Placement for Through- Hole Configurations
Connectors should be handled only by the housing to avoid deformation, contamination, or damage to the contact
tines.
When placing through hole connectors on the pc board, make sure the contact solder tines are aligned and
started into the matching holes before seating the housing on the pc board.
3.9. Soldering Through- Hole Connectors
A. Flux Selection
Contact solder tines must be fluxed prior to soldering with a mildly active, rosin base 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. Call the
Product Information phone number at the bottom of page 1 for consideration of other types of flux. Some
fluxes that are compatible with these connectors are provided in Figure 9.

B. 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 10.
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.

3.11. Soldering Surface Mount Connectors
The pc board pads must be solderable in accordance with Test Specification 109--11--1.
A. Typical Solder Paste Characteristics
1. Alloy type shall be either 63 Sn/37 Pb or 60 Sn/40 Pb.
2. Flux shall be RMA type.
3. Solids by weight shall be 85% minimum.
4. Mesh designation --200 to +325 (74 to 44 square micron openings, respectively).
5. Minimum viscosity of screen print shall be 5 x 10% cp (centipoise).
6. Minimum viscosity of stencil print shall be 7.5 x 10% cp (centipoise).
B. Solder Volume
Solder volume for each component shall be:
Right--Angle Header 1.11 mm3[.0000682 in.3] per contact.............
Right--Angle Hold--Down Barb 1.50 mm3[.0000914 in.3] per right--angle header hold--down....
Right--Angle Hold--Down Pad 3.06 mm3[.0001867 in.3] per right--angle header hold--down.....
Vertical Header 1.09 mm3[.000067 in.3] per contact.................
Vertical Hold Down 1.34 mm3[.000082 in.3] per vertical header hold--down..............
Solder volume may vary depending on solder paste composition.
C. Stencil
Stencil aperture will be determined by the thickness of the stencil being used. Generally, the thinner
stencils will have a larger aperture to maintain a given volume of solder paste. Solder deposition should be
within the pad area of the contact solder tines. A typical aperture opening is provided in Figure 13.
All traces must be covered by solder mask in the solder deposit area. Exposed traces could cause bridging and create
a short, or wick solder away from the solder tines, producing a weak solder joint.
If a hold--down aperture is required other than that specified, the design must ensure that the connector housing will
not sit on the solder deposit.
The recommended aperture width is 0.064 mm [.025 in.] , It may be wider, however, care must be given to ensure
against solder bridging.

D. Solder Screen
Generally, we do not recommend screen application of solder paste because of the limited volume of
paste that can be deposited. If a screen application is required, we recommend removal of all screen from
the solder tine and hold--down pad areas. Consult your supplier for compatibility of screen and paste, and
for application techniques.
E. Solder Mask
Solder mask is recommended between all pads. If a trace is run between adjacent pads on the solder side
of the pc board, a solder mask must be applied over the trace to prevent bridging and wicking of solder
away from the contact solder tines. Additionally, there should be solder mask covering any traces in the
area of the hold--down solder deposit. Liquid photo imageable or dry film solder masks are recommended.
AMPMODU MTE Interconnection System 114- 25026
Rev D15 of 20Tyco Electronics Corporation
F. Connector Placement
SMT header connectors can be placed on the pc board by hand or by pick and place equipment. If doing
so by hand, grip the connector at the ends of the housing without touching the contact to prevent
contamination and deformation of the solder tines. See Figure 14.
At the time of connector placement, the coplanarity of the pad pattern must be held to 0.05 mm [.002 in.]
maximum. Tyco Electronics recommends a solder mask to minimize solder bridging between pads. The
mask must not exceed the height of the pad by more than 0.05 mm [.002 in.].
Since the connector housings may rest on top of the solder mask, an excessively high mask will allow too much space
between the solder tine and pad for a good solder joint. A solder joint under these conditions would be weak, and
would not provide long term performance for the connector.

G. Solder
1. Fluxing Selection
Refer to Paragraph 3.9.A for flux selections.
2. Techniques
It is recommended that the connector be soldered using convection, vapor phase (VPR), double sided
non--focused infrared (IR), or equivalent soldering technique provided the temperatures and exposure
time are within the ranges specified in Figure 15. Higher temperatures can be withstood for short periods
of time as indicated in Figure 15 for the IR reflow. Tyco Electronics recommends using a Corpane Batch
Vapor Phase (Model VVP 10 BU) and Vitronics IR (Model SMD 718) equipment.

3. Reflow Parameters
Due to the many variables involved with the reflow process (ie, component density, orientation, etc), we
recommend that the user conduct trial runs under actual manufacturing conditions to ensure product and
process compatibility.
H. Cleaning
Refer to Paragraph 3.9.B for cleaning information.
I. Drying
Air drying of cleaned connectors is recommended. Temperature for the connectors should not exceed
-- 6 5 _C to 105_C[--83_F to 221_F]. Degradation of the housings could result from extreme temperatures.
