![]() Note that some don’t correspond to the number of positions, I’ve added a few examples of these to show how to work out the needed part number. Numbers in bold can be changed to order connectors with a different number of positions. Spring tension is rated for 1000 mating cycles. In practice these should have been labelled “low”, “medium” and “high” as the “standard” type is not standard at all, it is actually a specialty contact which only makes sense in connectors with large numbers of positions. I use “Ultra-high” types (48257-000LF) as it is rare that I build anything requiring more than 6-8 positions in one connector, and the higher disconnection force eliminates the need for latching. The most interesting feature is variable spring tension. The Mini-PV family features a dazzling array of different contact types ( original catalogue). On this page I have summarised the parts which may be of interest to hobbyists who aren’t on a tight budget. I found Amphenol ICC’s website quite difficult to navigate, with catalogues incomplete, publicly available datasheets and documentation at best sporadic, and virtually non-existent for tooling. ![]() In subsequent decades its design as been copied and altered by other parties. The original Mini-PV family is still manufactured today by Amphenol in the USA, but is a fairly premium product which is not marketed for hobbyist use, and is priced accordingly, as one would expect for a product which has been produced by Uncle Sam to same specification for more than 70 years. ![]() As the heading suggests it has changed hands a few times since then. Its contact measures 1.25mm square and features an elaborate bi-metallic design with a brass contact body and a beryllium alloy spring. Mini-PV was the first 0.1″ (2.54mm pitch) design of this type likely introduced in the 1950s by Berg Connectors which appears to have spent much of its life as a division of E. The white strip on the right is a set of snap-off blanking plugs. Mini-PV – (Amphenol ICC – formerly FCI, formerly DuPont Connector Systems, formerly Berg) Mini-PV wire-to-board housings, headers and a variety of contact sizes and plating options.
