Summary of AMP 179452-1 High Speed Connector Datasheet

The datasheet is for the AMP brand high speed connector with part number 179452-1. This product is a part of the 050 Centerline High Speed Interconnection System (Z-PACK .050 J Series) and is categorized as an active component. The document provides detailed technical specifications, as well as general and design information for the high-speed header assembly easily identified as “152P (140 SIGNAL) HDR ASSY ZPACK JII DISK ARRAY CONN” with customer drawing number 179452, Rev. A.

The housing material is made of Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP), noted for its durability and strength. The housing color of the connector is black, which is standard for many electronic components to maintain a neutral appearance on printed circuit boards (PCBs). The contact material consists of a copper alloy ensuring good electrical conductivity, and the contact mating area boasts a gold (Au) plating of 0.5μm minimum thickness for reliable connections. The mating area for power contacts has additional tin-lead (Sn-Pb) plating.

This connector has multiple features appealing to high-speed electronic applications. It includes a total of 152 positions, signaling capabilities for up to 140 contacts, which underscores its high-density interconnect capability. The connector is designed as a header with vertical mount angle and employs through-hole technology for its termination method, suitable for robust and durable connections on PCBs. The suitable PCB thickness for this connector is 3.00mm [.118in]. The termination post length is indicated as 4.00mm [.157in], and the connector facilitates both solder post and blindmate interconnections. In power distribution within the array connector, there are 8 short and 4 long power contacts.

For engineers and designers, the dimensions for the recommended PCB layout are specified, enhancing ease of incorporation into system designs. The document makes several references to scale drawings of the product, sections labeled A-A, B-B, C-C, and D-D, providing visual guidance on the connector’s physical properties for better integration with electronic systems.

The data provided in the first two pages of the datasheet, including the Tyco Electronics branding and the Current Brand View information, positions the AMP 179452-1 as a reliable component suitable for high-speed interconnection systems used in disk arrays and other data-intensive applications. The datasheet further specifies that all design-related activities should refer to the customer drawing for detailed guidance.
