Press-Fit and Solder Termination Options
Press-fit allows solderless assembly into plated through-holes, reducing thermal stress on the board and enabling rework-friendly connections. The square brass pins have a tin-plated post (100µinch thickness) for reliable solder joint formation, while the gold-plated mating surface (30µinch) ensures low contact resistance over many cycles.
Mating and Compatibility with AMPMODU MTE
The keying slot prevents mismating — a feature that ensures the connector can only be inserted in one orientation, reducing assembly errors on the line. For a direct replacement, confirm the circuit count and mating half — the 5-103908-7 has all 8 positions loaded.
