Quick Reference Guide
.050 CENTERLINE MICRO-MATCH CONNECTOR SERIES
The TE Connectivity (TE) Micro-MaTch connector family, with its contact spacing of 1.27 mm, offers a variety of
wire-to-board and board-to-board interconnections. The Micro-MaTch contact helps prevent fretting corrosion,
the traditional failure mode in tin-plated connections. Relative movements caused by vibrations/thermal
expansion between male and female contacts are absorbed by an additional positioning spring in the female
part. By preventing movements on the contact spot, a gas tight connection can make the Micro-MaTch contact
spring system fretting corrosion resistant.

HOW MICRO-MATCH CONNECTORS WORK
The Micro-MaTch connector design
helps prevent fretting corrosion which
is the traditional failure mode in tin
plated connections. Due to an additional
positioning spring in the female part,
relative movements caused by vibrations
and thermal expansion between male
