Precision Pin and Socket Contacts
Signal Contacts
Type III+, Posted Version, Size 16
The last member of the Type III+ family of contacts, the
posted version is compatible with M Series, Special M
Series, Metrimate, Metrimate Drawer, and CPC Series 1
connectors. Precision formed, they are pre-crimped to
various post configurations including those that accept
TERMI-POINT Clip or wire-wrap type terminations.
Contacts feature high normal force which provides a low
resistance in significant applications. Mating entry is
closed-ended to prevent damage from stubbing due to
misalignment. A stainless steel spring provides superior
normal force and retention in the housing. Tyco Electronics
proprietary gold plating process is designed so that
specified plating thicknesses are controlled on the inside
of the socket, which is the critical contact mating area.
Contacts are formed from brass. Single contact current
rating is 13 amperes at 30°C Temperature Rise.
See page 12 for product details.
Type II, Crimp, Snap-In, Size 16
Precision screw-machined pin and socket contacts, they
are used in M Series, Special M Series, “G” Series,
Metrimate, Metrimate Drawer, and CPC Series 1 and 4
connectors. Contacts feature high normal force which pro-
vides a low resistance in significant applications such as
dry circuit signal conditions. Mating entry is closed-ended
to prevent damage from stubbing due to misalignment. A
stainless steel spring provides superior normal force and
retention in the housing. The contact bodies are machined
from solid brass. Single contact current rating is
13 amperes at 30°C Temperature Rise.
See page 13 for product details.
Size 20 DF, Crimp, Snap-In
Precision formed lance-less pin and socket, crimp, snap-in
contacts in Size 20. These contacts are used in CPC
Series 2 and AMPLIMITE Subminiature D connectors
(see catalog 82068 for AMPLIMITE connectors). Contacts
feature a low mating force to facilitate high pin counts in the
connector housings. Tulip entry design on socket and
generous lead-in on pin prevents contact stubbing.
Pin contacts are formed from brass, whereas socket
contacts are formed from phosphor bronze providing
excellent spring properties. Contacts are available with
or without insulation support. Single contact current rating
is 7.5 amperes at 30°C Temperature Rise.
See pages 14 & 15 for product details.
Size 20 DF, Solder Cup, Snap-In
Precision formed lance-less pin and socket, solder con-
tacts in Size 20. These contacts are used in CPC Series 2
and AMPLIMITE Subminiature D Connectors (see catalog
82068 for AMPLIMITE connectors). Contacts feature a low
mating force to facilitate high pin counts in the connector
housings. Tulip entry design on socket and generous
lead-in on pin prevents contact stubbing. Pin contacts are
formed from brass, whereas sockets are formed from
phosphor bronze providing excellent spring properties.
Contacts may be soldered to solid or stranded wire up to
18 AWG [0.8 mm
is 7.5 amperes at 30°C Temperature Rise.
