Wire-to-wire and wire-to-board connector system

22 November 2000 Interconnection

The AMP CHAMP connector is an inter-mateable connector system for wire-to-wire and wire-to-board applications with 2,16 mm centres. This connector system is used in the telecommunication, computer and measuring instruments industries as well as for peripheral requirements. Numerable accessories as well as an extended product line with centreline variants 1,27 mm (CHAMP 050) and 0,8 mm (CHAMP 08) continue to broaden the application areas. The cable connector uses insulation displacement technology having preloaded contacts.

For the CHAMP PCB the number of positions are: 14, 24,36,50 and 64; wire size range: AWG 26-22 solid and AWG 28-22 stranded shielded and not shielded. For the CHAMP 050 for board-to-board and wire-to-board applications the number of positions is 20 to 240 and wire size range, AWG 28. For the CHAMP 08 the wire size range is AWG 30 and number of positions, 50 and 68.
