Interconnect system of wire and cable connectors
AMPMODU interconnect system is a comprehensive family of modular signal interconnects for board-to-board, wire-to-board, and wire-to-wire applications from 1.00 mm (0.039”) to 3.96 mm (0.156”) centerlines that are widely used across nearly all industrial applications requiring Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs).
Miniaturization is a trend impacting industries globally. The breadth of AMPMODU components, combined with its small size make it a solid interconnect system for a wide range of applications and systems. The growing need for board miniaturization is driving demand towards fine pitch connectors. It is designed to reliably and economically meet a variety of packaging and interconnection requirements. The large variety of components and application possibilities, combined with a small, compact footprint enables space savings and high quality design. This makes the AMPMODU interconnect products suitable for applications and systems across a broad range of industries.

- Economic and compact design allows for PCB space savings
- Multiple solder tail lengths available to accomodate different PCB thicknesses
- Available in most mounting geometries, plating types, and packaging styles to offer flexible manufacturing options and meet cost requirements for customers
- Dual-beam contacts provides reliable signal transfers in high vibration environments
- Most connectors meet industry environmental, health, and safety requirements (RoHS, REACH, and UL)
- Connector housings available in high-temp resin compatible with reflow solder processes, saving customers time and money
Two integral cantilever beams contact the mating posts providing reliable signal transfers. Deflection of these spring members is limited by anti-overstress stops, and excessive permanent deformation is prevented. This feature allows a wide range for tolerance of misalignment of mating contacts. The dual-beam contacts prevent connection loss in high vibration environments. The AMPMODU mating post tip design is carefully chosen to minimize stubbing and scratching, which supports high durability of the AMPMODU product family.
