Mechanical Characteristics
| Removable Contacts: | Insert contact to rear face of insulator, release from front face of insulator. Size 16, 0.062 inch (1.57 mm) diameter male contact. Female contact utilizes "closed entry" design for highest reliability. |
|---|---|
| Removable Contact Retention in Insulator: | 15 lbs. (67N) per IEC 512-8, Test 15a |
| Fixed Contacts: | Solder cup and printed board terminations. Size 16, 0.062 inch (1.57 mm) diameter male contact. Female contact utilizes "closed entry" design for highest reliability. |
| Fixed Contact Retention in Insulator: | 6 lbs. (26N) |
| Resistance to Solder Iron Heat: | 500°F (260°C) for 10 seconds duration per IEC 512-6, Test 12e, 25 watt soldering iron |
| Contact Terminations: | Crimp or solder removable contacts from wire sizes 12 AWG (4.0 mm²) through 24 AWG (0.25 mm²). Straight and right angle solder printed board mount, 0.062 inch (1.57 mm) tail diameter. Compliant termination press-fit. Fixed contact solder cup termination, 18 AWG (1.0 mm²) maximum. |
| Contact Insertion and Withdrawal Forces: | 8 oz. (2.2N) nominal per contact |
| Connection Systems: | Connector provides cable to cable, cable to printed board, cable to panel mount, and printed board to printed board application |
| Sequential Mating System: | Cable and printed board mount connectors. Male contacts provide as many as three mating lengths |
| Locking System: | Insulators provide locking between cable to cable, cable to printed board mount, and cable to panel mount applications |
| Polarization: | Provided in insulator design. Further polarization in cable connectors can be provided by mixing male contacts in female insulators and female contacts in male insulators. |
| Mounting to Printed Board: | Rapid installation push-on fasteners Self tapping screws |
