The most common connectors we use to work with the signals of a printed circuit board are those formed by a single row of contacts with a 1/10” pitch, in Spanish also known as “conector poste”

The assembly set is formed by a plastic terminal housing (female) a row of contacts (male, straight or right angle) and individual terminals.

Assembly procedure

 

 

 

These terminals must be crimped (not solder) with this AMP tool

 

Strip the cable end, about 2 mm, and wrap the copper wire

 

 

With the B shape, crimp the U shape of the terminal with the copper wire. After that, crimp again using the A shape.

Repeat with the plastic cover and the remaining U shape, using the shapes B and A of the tool.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Finally, insert cable/terminal in the connector by matching the metal retainer on the connector window
