1. INTRODUCTION
This specification covers the requirements for application of Micro MATE-N-LOK connectors for printed circuit (pc)
board, panel mount, and free-hanging applications. Connectors are available in dual row with 2 through 24 contact
positions, and single row with 2 through 12 positions on 3.00 mm centerline spacing. End cavities are marked
with a number to provide circuit identification. The pin header is available, for wire-to-board applications, in vertical
or right-angle configurations for through hole mount application or surface mount technology (SMT). The plug
housings are available for panel mount or free-hanging wire-to-wire applications. The receptacle locking latch
ensures positive mating of the connectors.
The pin header contains pre-installed solder type contacts with precision formed solder tines. The pin header is
available with integral boardlocks (mechanical or plastic) or surface mount boardlocks (contacts with a board
retention feature). These boardlocks provide stability for connector placement on the pc board. The connectors
are placed on the pc board by hand application tooling or electrically-powered machines. The receptacle housing
accepts only Micro MATE-N-LOK receptacle contacts sizes for 30-26 or 24-20 AWG wire. To ensure proper
placement, the contact orientation barrel aligns with an orientation feature on the receptacle contact cavity. The
contact contains a locking lance designed to engage the housing contact retention shoulder and prevent backing
out during mating of the connector. The contacts are available in loose-piece for terminating with manual hand-
held tools, and in strip form for terminating with semi-automatic or automatic electrically- powered machines.
The plug housing accepts only Micro MATE-N-LOK plug contacts sizes for 30-26 or 24-20 AWG wire. The plug
contact can be inserted into the plug housing in one of two orientations 1805 opposite of each other. The contacts
have locking lances that will engage the housing retention shoulder in either contact orientation and prevent
backing out during mating of the connector. When corresponding with TE Connectivity Personnel, use the
terminology provided in this specification to facilitate your inquiries for information. Basic terms and features of
this product are provided in Figure 1.
