• AMPHENOL DESIGN not like other stamped and formed designs
• FULLY QUALIFIED per MIL-DTL-83513 requirements
• ONE PIECE CONTACT with EQUALLY SPACED compliant tines
• GOLD OVER NICKEL versus gold over copper flash barrier
• TIGHTER CONTROL over plating process
• UNIFORM PLATING thickness
• AUTOMATED STAMPING versus twist process variations
• Integrated closed engaging end ENSURES UNIFORM INSERTION FORCES
• LOW MATING/UNMATING FORCE
• PREFERRED CONTACT for SPACE and SATELLITE applications
• CONTINUOUS CONNECTION along the length of the contact beam
(line contact) versus multi-point connection (point contact)
Why use Amphenol precision
stamped & formed contacts
AMPHENOL COMPETITOR
3-Tyne compression 2 bundles of wires twisted, tip welded,
squashed, crimped then plated
Au/Ni Barrier
(Uniform plating thickness)
Au/Cu Flash Barrier
(Inconsistent plating thickness)
Micro-miniature contact system employs a precision stamped and formed pin
contact recessed within the plug insulator.
The contact system has proven reliability, exceeding the performance
specifications of MIL-DTL-83513.
