1. INTRODUCTION
This instruction sheet covers contact and wire
selection, application tooling, and attaching hardware
for AMPLIMITE High Density (HDP--20) Connectors
shown in Figure 1. Read these instructions thoroughly
before assembling any connectors.
All dimensions on this document are in metric
units [with U.S. customary units in brackets].
Figures and illustrations are for reference only
and are not drawn to scale.
Reasons for reissue of this document are provided in
Section 6, REVISION SUMMARY.
2. DESCRIPTION (Figure 1)
The connectors are designed for rear insertion and
extraction of size 20, precision formed contacts. The
HDP--20 connectors feature steel shells and black
polymer inserts with plastic contact retention tines.
3. CONTACTS (Figure 2)
3.1. Selection
Refer to the table in Figure 2, and select strip or
loose--piece pin and socket contacts according to the
wire size and insulation diameter to be used.
Notice that each contact cavity is number--coded
(front and back). Make certain that the cavities of the
plug are a mirror image of the receptacle. Insert pin
contacts into the back of plug and mating socket
contacts into the back of the receptacle. If all cavities
are not used, distribute contacts evenly throughout
connector.
3.2. Crimping
Strip--form contacts are designed to be crimped with a
semi--automatic or automatic machine and applicator.
Consult your local TE Representative for assistance
in selecting the machine and applicator for your
application.
Loose--piece precision formed contacts are designed
to be crimped with the hand crimping tools listed in
the table in Figure 2. Refer to the instruction sheet
packaged with the tool, for specific crimping
procedure and tool inspection information.
3.3. Insertion and Extraction
Insertion/Extraction Tools 91067--2 (Instruction Sheet
408--7508) and 91285--1 (Instruction Sheet
408--9404) are designed for both pin and socket
contacts. The 91067--2 tool is used with contacts for
wire size 24 to 20 AWG and the 91285--1 tool is used
withcontactsforwiresize28to24AWG.

4. HARDWARE
A shield and cable clamp assembly is used with the
connector to house the cable or wire projecting from
the rear of the connector and for strain relief of the
cable or wires. For additional information concerning
the use of the shield and cable clamp assembly, refer
to Instruction Sheet 408--7555.
Shielded cable clamp kits for AMPLIMITE HDP--20
connectors used with braid and foil--shielded cables
are available in all connector sizes. The cable clamps
may be used with latching blocks (208101, 745245,
and 745286) and spring latches (745255--1) for
panel--mounted or free--hanging applications. Refer to
Instruction Sheet 408--6609 for additional information.
A male screw retainer kit (5205980--1) and a female
screwlock kit (5205817--1) are used to secure mating
connectors in panel--mounted or free--hanging
applications. Refer to Instruction Sheet 408--7837 for
information.
A slide latch post kit (5206514--1) and a slide latch
clip kit (5206942--1) are also used to secure mating
connectors in panel--mounted or free--hanging
applications. For additional information, refer to
Instruction Sheet 408--6551.
Slide latch post kits and slide latches for all
AMPLIMITE HDP--20 connector sizes are available
for panel--mounted and free--hanging applications.
Refer to Instruction Sheet 408--6551 for slide latch
and slide latch post application procedure and
information.
5. PANEL CUTOUT
Before making the panel cutout, refer to Application
Specification 114--40030 to determine the number of
positions in the connector, whether it will be used with
a cable clamp or side latch, and what the required
dimensions and clearances must be.
