Herein referred to as CIS, the system consists of a wide range of connector housings with specially designed cavities to support and protect relatively high pressure fork type contacts. The housings are mounted ready for wave soldering to printed circuit hoards without tooling. The mating half is an .0252 post in 90° or 180° configuration having a long contact travel area that insures positive wiping action for electrical continuity and excellent mating characteristics.

Design of the fork type connector housings provide for wide tolerance of misalignment to assure correct mating with the post contacts. Post contacts are available in continuous strip form for high speed automatic machine insertion or on a plastic carrier strip for multiple staking to printed circuit boards.

Pre-assembled housings are provided with contacts on a .100 or .150 center-line contact spacing. Contacts are brass with bright tin over copper plating for excellent solderability. This versatile interconnection system for wire to board or board to board application provides for side, top and bottom entry of the .0252 post into the receptacle housings. This enables the systems design engineer to be flexible in planning his interconnection requirements.

Fully automated application tooling has the capacity to measure, cut, strip and terminate conductors up to the rate of 5400 leads per hour, terminated at one or both ends for high production excellence.
