Tyco Electronics' AMP Economy Power (EP) wire-to-board interconnect system is designed for secondary power circuit applications and consists of a wire-to-board plug housing receptacle and a mating post header.
AMP EP connectors are available in three contact spacings: 3,96 mm, 5,08 mm and 7,93 mm and the headers are available in vertical as well as right angle configurations.
Applications for this ELV & RoHS compliant product can be found in commercial electronic equipment, household appliances and other general-purpose industrial and commercial applications where secondary power circuits are designed in.
AMP EP connectors are equipped with a positive locking mechanism. Its positioning avoids interference with potting or other surface treatments found on the circuit boards in home appliances. The slim design of the post headers allows end-to-end stacking to help improve flexibility and density on the PCB. The product is available in two through 12 positions in the 3,96 and 5,08 mm version and two through five positions in the 7,93 mm version. They are rated at 250 V a.c. and 7,5 A max.
Wire ranging from 18 through 22 AWG can be connected to the receptacle contacts. Initial resistance is rated at 10 mΩ and 20 mΩ final. Durability is rated at up to 50 mating cycles. The product is intermateable with other competitive designs. A high profile, single position plug housing and header are also available. With this version, current capacity is increased to 8 A.
