Product Parameters
Core Specifications
Fixed pitch: 1.00mm.
Double row pin count: typically 4–100P; high-end card-edge types up to 140 contacts.
Designed for 1.60mm thick PCBs.
Mounting: mainly SMT, with DIP versions available.
Some models include positioning pins for accurate assembly.
Amphenol FitMate® 1.00mm series, for example, offers double-row right-angle SMT configurations.
Electrical Performance
Standard version (e.g., Amphenol FitMate® 1.00mm):
Rated current: 1A
Suitable for 32AWG–28AWG wires
Rated voltage: 50VAC
Initial contact resistance: max. 20mΩ
Insulation resistance: min. 100MΩ
Ideal for general signal transmission.
Special versions:
TE SUPERSEAL 1.0 series: rated current up to 15A for power and signal transmission in harsh environments.
Samtec MEC1-RA: rated voltage up to 250VAC/354VDC for high-voltage applications.
Temperature Resistance & Environmental Compliance
Insulator: PA6T or equivalent, UL94 V-0 flame retardant.
Operating temperature (Amphenol series): -25℃ to 85℃.
Most models are RoHS-compliant; some are halogen-free.
Reflow-compatible versions withstand high soldering temperatures for automated mass production.
Structural & Material Advantages
Anti-Drop & Anti-Misinsertion Design
Most models feature active latches or locking mechanisms to prevent terminal back-out and disconnection under vibration, ensuring secure mating.
Some include keying to avoid reverse insertion, maintaining system integrity.
The active latch in Amphenol FitMate® 1.00mm series greatly improves contact reliability.
High-Performance Materials
Contacts: brass or phosphor bronze, providing excellent elasticity and conductivity for stable contact over repeated mating cycles.
Surface finish: under-nickel plating with gold plating (customizable) for low contact resistance in high-frequency, high-reliability applications; tin plating is also available for cost efficiency.
Insulator options: PA6T, LCP, PA46, all with high temperature resistance and flame retardancy.
Typical Applications
Consumer & Smart Home
Compact size ideal for small devices: robotic vacuums, portable terminals, small kitchen appliances, used for internal PCB-to-PCB signal transmission.
Automotive & Industrial Vehicles
Special sealed versions (e.g., TE SUPERSEAL 1.0) are used in commercial, agricultural and construction machinery: engine control modules, transmission systems, under-hood junction boxes, resisting vibration, high temperature and humidity.
General Precision Electronics
Applied in office equipment, test and measurement instruments.
Amphenol series supports fine-pitch wire-to-board connections.
Custom pin lengths are available for special PCB spacing designs.
