1. INTRODUCTION

This specification covers requirements for the printed circuit (pc) board--to--board application of Eurocard

Connectors Types B, C, M, Q, R, and Enhanced Type C. These two--piece, 2.54 mm [.100 in.] row--to--row and

in--row centerline contact connectors are designed to mate with all DIN 41612 and IEC 603--2 connectors of

similar type and contact arrangement. The two-- and three--row connectors are available in 32, 64, and 96

positions, as well as half sizes and expanded sizes as mating pin and receptacle connectors.

The housings are available pre--loaded with ACTION PIN* thin stock and square stock contacts (0.64 mm

[.025 in.]), solder tines and wrap--type contacts in various lengths. Type M housings have contact cavities at

each end that will accept solder cup, coaxial crimp--type, and solder type contacts. Multiple pin heights for

connectors with make first, break last (MFBL) contacts and selective contact loading are available.

When corresponding with TE Connectivity Personnel, use the terminology provided in this specification to

facilitate your inquiries for information. Basic terms and features of these components are provided in Figure 1.
