2.6. Specifications
Product Specification 108–14008 provides information about performance, test results, and quality
requirements for the Miniature Spring Socket Contacts.
3. REQUIREMENTS
3.1. Safety

3.2. Material
The eyelet is made of copper and the spring is made of beryllium–copper. The socket contacts are available in
tin or gold plate.
3.3. Storage
A. Shelf Life
The sockets should remain in the shipping containers until ready for use to prevent deformation to the
contacts. The sockets should be used on a first in, first out basis to avoid storage contamination that could
adversely affect performance.
B. Chemical Exposure
Do not store sockets near any chemical listed below as they may cause stress corrosion cracking in the
contacts.
Alkalies
Amines
Ammonia
Carbonates
Citrates
Nitrites
Phosphates Citrates
Sulfur Nitrites
Sulfur Compounds
Tartrates
3.4. PC Board Requirements
A. Material and Thickness
The pc board material must be glass epoxy (FR–4 or G–10). The pc board thickness shall be 0.79–3.18
[.031–.125] thick.
NOTE
Contact the Product Information Center at the number listed at the bottom of page 1 for suitability of other board
materials and thicknesses.
B. Hole Dimensions
The pc board may be single–sided or double–sided, with or without plated–thru holes. See Figure 2.

3.6. Soldering Socket Contacts
The Miniature Spring Socket Contacts can be soldered with wave, vapor phase, or infrared reflow processes,
provided the temperatures and exposure time are within the ranges specified in Figure 4. Tyco Electronics
recommends the use of SN60 or SN62 solder for the socket contacts. Refer to Paragraph 2.4 for instructional
material that is available for establishing soldering guidelines.

Flux Selection
Figure 4
The socket contact must be fluxed prior to soldering with a mildly active, rosin base flux. Selection of the
flux will depend on the type of pc board and other components mounted on the board. Additionally, the flux
must be compatible with the wave solder line, manufacturing, health, and safety requirements. Call the
Product Information phone number at the bottom of page 1 for consideration of other types of flux. Some
fluxes that are compatible with these contacts are provided in Figure 5.

Cleaning
After soldering, removal of fluxes, residues, and activators is necessary. Consult with the supplier of the
solder and flux for recommended cleaning solvents. The following is a listing of common cleaning solvents
that will not affect the contacts for the time and temperature specified. See Figure 6.
DANGER
Consideration must be given to toxicity and other safety requirements recommended by the solvent manufacturer.
Refer to the manufacturer's Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for characteristics and handling of cleaners.
Trichloroethylene and Methylene Chloride can be used with no harmful affect to the contacts; however Tyco
Electronics does not recommend them because of the harmful occupational and environmental effects. Both are
carcinogenic (cancer-causing) and Trichloroethylene is harmful to the earth's ozone layer.
NOTE
If you have a particular solvent that is not listed, contact the T
ooling Assistance Center or Product Information number
at the bottom of page 1.

C. Drying
When drying cleaned socket contacts, make certain that temperature limitations are not exceeded: –65° to
125°C [–85° to 257°F]. Excessive temperatures may cause degradation.
3.7. Checking Installed Socket Contact
All solder joints should conform to those specified in Workmanship Specification 101–21. The socket contact
must seat on the pc board to within the tolerance shown in Figure 7. There shall be no deformation of the
socket contact during the insertion operation that will affect the performance.
