Introduction
MINI-VARILOK
The Mini-Varilok is half the size of the standard Varilok
contact. It’s designed for hand or machine crimping to solid
or stranded AWG #22 to #30 wire. Its basic features are
identical to the standard Varilok however it also incorporates
a decreased insertion force and is used for high density
applications. Production methods for the Mini-Varilok are the
same as the standard Varilok.
CONTACT RETENTION
The Varilok contact, after undergoing five insertion / extrac-
tion cycles and being subjected to the vibration and shock
tests of MIL-C-28731, still withstands an axial load in excess
of 10 pounds (6 for mini-varilok).
WIRE SIZE
The Varilok contact with its open crimp barrel conforms to
practically all specifications written for screw-machined con-
tacts with closed crimp barrels. The crimp barrel of the
Varilok contact is designed to accommodate wire sizes AWG
#18 to #26. It’s also possible to crimp together two strand-
ed #22 or smaller wires. The Mini-Varilok accommodates
wire sizes AWG #22 to #30. Table I lists the various sizes of
wire to which Varilok contacts can be crimped, and indicates
the minimum conductor diameter and the maximum insula-
tor diameter that can be accommodated by the contacts.
The crimp barrel is also crimped to the wire’s insulation for
strain relief and the large, overlapping ears of the barrel
accommodate a wide range of wire insulation sizes (Table I).
For an optimum crimp connection, the insulation is stripped
one-eighth inch from the end of the conductor.

CRIMP CHARACTERISTICS
The illustration shows an enlarged cross-section of a typical
Varilok crimp on a #22 stranded wire. No significant voids
are visible. The complete deformation of the wire strands
indicates optimum contact between the contact barrel and
the conductors.
TENSILE STRENGTH
Table II lists the values, in pounds, of tensile strength (wire
pull-out force) for Varilok and Mini-Varilok contacts crimped
to stranded AWG #18 to #30 wires.
CRIMPING EQUIPMENT
All equipment needed to crimp Varilok and Mini-Varilok
contacts is normally available from stock. Crimping equip-
ment for production crimping as well as hand-operated
crimping pliers are designed to realize the full electrical,
mechanical and economical advantages of the Varilok and
Mini-Varilok contact.
