NOTE
All numerical values are in metric units [with U.S. customary units in brackets]. Dimensions are in millimeters [and
inches]. Unless otherwise specified, dimensions have a tolerance of ±0.13 [±.005] and angles have a tolerance of
±2°. Figures and illustrations are for identification only and are not drawn to scale.
1. INTRODUCTION
This specification covers the requirements for application of the AMP* 1mm FPC (flexible printed
circuit) horizontal and vertical connectors. These connectors are designed for surface mount
technology (SMT) to printed circuit (pc) boards and receive FPCs with zero insertion force (ZIF) action.
The connectors have contacts with centerline spacings of 1.00 [.0394] and are available in sizes 4
through 30 contact positions. The horizontal connectors feature solder hold-downs that help to
stabilize the connector before and after soldering. The top entry horizontal connector is for FPCs with
exposed traces facing upward and the bottom entry is for FPCs with exposed traces facing downward.
The connectors may be machine placed on pc boards with robotic equipment.
When corresponding with personnel, use the terminology provided in this specification to facilitate
your inquiries for information. Basic terms and features of this product are provided in Figure 1.

at the bottom of page 1.
2.3. Drawings
Customer Drawings for product part numbers are available from the service network. If there is a
conflict between the information contained in the Customer Drawings and this specification or with any
other technical documentation supplied, call product information at the number at the bottom of page
1.
2.4. Manuals
Manual 402-40 is available upon request and can be used as a guide to soldering. This manual
provides information on various flux types and characteristics with the commercial designation and
flux removal procedures. A checklist is included in the manual as a guide for information on soldering
problems.
2.5. Specifications
Product Specifications 108-1393, 108-1393-1 and 108-51074 provide product performance
requirements and test information. Workmanship Specifications 101-21 and J-STD-001 provide solder
joint requirements and Test Specification 109-11 provides requirements and evaluation methods.
2.6. Instructional Material
Instruction Sheet 408-6927 provides recommendations for designing a pc board support fixture.
3. REQUIREMENTS
3.1. Storage
A. Ultraviolet Light
Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet light may deteriorate the chemical composition used in the
connectors.
B. Shelf Life
The connectors should remain in the shipping containers until ready for use to prevent
deformation to the contacts. The connectors should be used on a first in, first out basis to avoid
storage contamination that could adversely affect them.
C. Chemical Exposure
Do not store connectors near any chemicals listed below, as they may cause stress corrosion
cracking in the connectors.
Alkalies
Amines
Ammonia
Carbonates
Citrates
Nitrites
Phosphates Citrates
Sulfur Nitrites
Sulfur Compounds
Tartrates
D. Reeled Connectors
Connectors are packaged and shipped in boxed reels of embossed tape packaging that conforms
to Electronic Industries Association (EIA) 481 Packaging Standards. Each reel begins with a
leader consisting of an empty strip of carrier which may or may not include cover tape. The trailing
end consists of empty carrier strip with cover tape that will unwind freely when the reel empties.
There are four tape widths to accommodate the full range of connector positions. See Figure 2.
