Product Facts
■ Full line of mass
termination tooling offers
lowest installed cost for
most production needs
■ Dual cantilever beams with
anti-overstress features
provide redundant contact
of mating post and limit
beam deflection, preventing
permanent deformation
■ Redundant insulation
displacement slots provide
for maximum reliability
■ Integral wire strain relief
on contact can prevent wire
motion from being
transmitted to wire
termination areas
■ Built-in contact post stop
can protect terminated wire
from being disturbed by
over-insertion of mating
post, prevents wire from
entering contact area and
positively limits mating
connector depth
■ Insulation displacement
contacts and crimp,
snap-in contacts are
interchangeable
■ Complete serviceability
with replacement contacts
■ Cover styles include
low profile (polarized,
non-polarized, latching and
ejection) and standard
profile (hermaphroditic
and ejection)
■ Connector housings may
be stacked end-to-end
within one pair of covers.
All varieties of covers in
this catalog are suitable for
multiple housing stacking
applications similar to the
example illustrated in the
photograph to the right

The AMPMODU MT and
Shielded MT Interconnection
System offers labor and
cost savings through mass
termination technology,
while maintaining the time-
proven reliability of the
AMPMODU product family.
The MT system is comprised
of preloaded, double-row
receptacle assemblies with
snap-on covers and a variety
of shielding hardware and
accessories. The system is
supported by a full line of
mass termination tooling to
meet virtually most produc-
tion needs.
The insulation displacement
contact, the heart of the MT
system, features a mating
interface that is the same as
the conventional AMPMODU
crimp, snap-in contact, fea-
turing dual cantilever beams,
built-in overstress protection
and a completely enclosed
“box” design.
To reduce EMI/ESD (electro-
magnetic interference/
electrostatic discharge) at
the input-output interface,
add-on metal shields can be
used to convert standard
MT connectors to shielded
MT connectors.
