M Series
Pin and Socket Connectors
Posted Connectors
Posted connectors are
furnished preloaded with
Size 16, posted contacts
(as shown on page 32) and
are specifically designed
to be wired with hand
tools and semiautomatic
machines. The cavity
centerline spacing is too
close to accommodate
the heads and mandrels
of fully automatic machines.
Post configurations of the
preloaded contacts are
available for accepting
TERMI-POINT Clip and
wrap-type terminations.
Dimensions are in inches and millimeters
unless otherwise specified.
Values in brackets are metric equivalents.
Posted connector housings
are made of black phenolic
or diallyl phthalate and are
available in sizes ranging
from 6 thru 104 positions.
They will mate with correspondingly
sized standard
connector (except .200
[5.08] grid) housings
loaded with Size 16 crimptype
contacts. It is not
recommended to mate two
posted connectors. Since
the preloaded posted
contacts are rigid in the
housing, mating two posted
connectors, particularly of
the larger sizes, would be
difficult.

Posted connectors can
be substituted for standard
connectors in the Connector/
Hardware Selection Charts,
pages 10 to 25.
Tyco does not recommend the use
of shields or strain relief clamps with
posted connectors because of the
potential of shorting.
