AMP Economy Power (EP)
Connectors are designed
for secondary power circuit
applications. They consist
of wire-to-pc board plug
housings (for receptacle
contacts) and mating post
headers. Three contact
centerline spacings are
available: .156 [3.96], .200
[5.08] and .312 [7.92].
Headers with .156 [3.96]
centerline are offered in
2 through 11 positions;
2 through 12 positions for
.200 [5.08] centerline; and
.312 [7.92] centerline are
available in 2 through 5
positions. Both versions are
provided in bulk pack or in
tubes for automatic

housing to provide for
greater retention. This
helps maintain reliable
connections, when other
non-locking type connec-
tors could vibrate apart.
This same locking lever
must be depressed to
unmate the connectors.
