177900-6

Product Summary

The 177900-6 is AMP Soft Shell Pin and Socket Connectors which provide a highly reliable and economic means of grouping multiple-lead connections in today’s computer, computer/peripheral equipment, business machines, entertainment centers, appliances and other sophisticated commercial equipment. The electrical connector is an integral component in these applications. They also offer worldwide application approval because of their reliability and economy. Electrical functions have increased in complexity and new designs continually call for the maximum use of space.The Soft Shell Pin and Socket family of connectors offers the design and features to answer these modern industry requirements. This catalog is organized by contact centerline spacing (High Density and Standard Density) to provide you with the basic information necessary to select the Soft Shell connector system best suited for your specific application. It contains general information to acquaint you with the complete family of connectors and application tooling. Since your specific application will determine the degree of automatic, semiautomatic or manual application tooling required, complete specifications are covered on pages 207-204.
