INTRODUCTION Ths specfcaton covers the requrements for applcaton of Hermaphrodtc Blade and Receptacle Connectors for use on modular prnted crcut (pc) board--to--board Surface Mount Technology (SMT) applcatons. The connector allows nstallers to top mount LED lghtng pc boards end--to--end as they are fastened to the mountng surface. The connector s avalable n 2, 4, or 6 postons. See Fgure 1. The connector can mate or unmate horzontally or vertcally allowng replacement of center pc boards n a seres of pc board strps. The connector can mate around corners, allowng the seres of pc board strps to contnue around edges. It s hermaphrodtc, so the customer only needs to stock a sngle part number. A dust cap s also avalable to protect the last connector n a seres of prnted crcut (pc) board strps. The dust cap s avalable n 2, 4, and 6 postons n natural color. The dust cap s ntended to be put on after the connector has been soldered on the pc board.

All solder jonts should conform to the Workmanshp Specfcaton 101--21 and IPC--S--815. Rev E Tyco Electroncs Corporaton 3 of 10
A. Flux Selecton Contacts must be fluxed pror to solderng wth a mldly actve, rosn base flux. Selecton of the flux wll depend on the type of pc board and other components mounted on the board. Addtonally, the flux must be compatble wth the wave solder lne, manufacturng, health, and safety requrements. Flux that s compatble wth the connectors s provded n Fgure 4. FLUX TYPE ACTIVITY RESIDUE COMMERCIAL DESIGNATION KESTER ALPHA Type RMA (Mldly Actvated) Mld Noncorrosve 185/197 611 Fgure 4 B. Connectors wth SMT Contacts 1. Solderablty The pc board pads must be solderable n accordance wth Test Specfcaton 109--11 (Test Method A, non--actvated rosn flux) and all other requrements for surface mount contacts specfed n ths document. 2. Solder Paste Characterstcs a. Alloy type shall be SAC 305; Sn 96.5/Ag 3.0/Cu 0.5 b. Flux ncorporated n the paste shall be rosn, mldly actve (RMA) type. c. Paste wll be at least 80% solds by volume. d. Mesh desgnaton --200 to +325 (74 to 44 square mcron openngs, respectvely). e. Mnmum vscosty of screen prnt shall be 5 10% cp (centpose). f. Mnmum vscosty of stencl prnt shall be 7.5 10% cp (centpose). 3. Solder Volume Solder paste volumes are requred as follows (calculated per 50% solds content). Paste volume may vary dependng on the composton. Solder volume for each Hermaphrodtc Blade and Receptacle Connector must be accordng to the followng: 1.75 mm 3 [.0001068 n 3 ] per contact solder tne 4. Stencl The stencl aperture shall be determned by the crcut pad sze and stencl thckness. It may be any shape as long as t prevents solder brdgng from one pad to another. Generally, the thnner stencl wll need a larger aperture to mantan the gven volume of solder paste. See Fgure 5. The recommended stencl thckness s 0.13 mm [.005 n.] mnmum. The stencl layouts llustrated apply to the top (connector) sde (unless otherwse noted) of the pc board. For any other varatons, refer to the pc board mountng confguratons on the approprate customer drawng to determne modfcatons necessary to the solder stencls n Fgure 5. 4 of 10 Tyco Electroncs Corporaton Rev E
All traces must be covered by solder mask n the solder depost area. Exposed traces could cause brdgng and create a short, or wck solder away from the solder tnes, producng a weak solder jont. If a hold -down aperture s requred other than that specfed, the desgn must ensure that the connector housng wll not st on the solder depost. Typcal Stencl Layout 4.00 [.157] (Typ) 2.00 [.079] (Typ) 5.75 [.226] (Typ) Fgure 5 5. Solder Mask Solder mask s recommended between all pads when solderng connectors wth surface mount contacts to mnmze solder brdgng between pads. The mask must not exceed the heght of the pad by more than 0.05 mm [.002 n.]. If a trace s run between adjacent pads on the solder sde of the pc board, a solder mask must be appled over the trace to prevent brdgng and wckng of solder away from the contact solder tnes. Those most sutable are Lqud Photo Imageable and Dry Flm. Snce the connector may rest on top of the solder mask, an excessvely hgh mask wll allow too much space between the lead and pad for a good solder jont. A solder jont under these condtons would be weak and would not provde long -term performance for the connector. 6. Process Connectors wth surface mount contacts should be soldered usng vapor phase (VPR), double--sded, non--focused nfrared reflow (IR) or equvalent solderng technques. Due to many varables nvolved wth the reflow process (.e., component densty, orentaton, etc.), t s recommended that tral runs be conducted under actual manufacturng condtons to ensure product and process compatblty. These connectors wll wthstand the temperature and exposure tme specfed n Fgure 6.

Cleanng After solderng, removal of fluxes, resdues, and actvators s necessary. Consult wth the suppler of the solder and flux for recommended cleanng solvents. Common cleanng solvents that wll not affect the connectors or assembles for the tmes and temperatures provded wthout any adverse effects on the connector assembly are lsted n Fgure 8. DANGER Consderaton must be gven to toxcty and other safety requrements recommended by the solvent manufacturer. Trchloroethylene and Methylene Chlorde can be used wth no harmful affect to the connectors; however, Tyco Electroncs does not recommend them because of the harmful occupatonal and envronmental effects. Both are carcnogenc (cancer -causng) and Trchloroethylene s harmful to the earth s ozone layer.
