Side-to-side — side-to-side bending of the contact may not exceed the limits provided in Figure 4.
NOTE
Periodic inspections must be made to ensure crimped contact formation is consistent.
Figure 4
3.5. Tensile Inspection
Crimped contacts should hold the wire firmly and have a pull-test tensile value meeting the values given in Figure 5.
NOTE
The head travel of the tensile testing machine must be adjusted to 25.4 [1.0] per minute. Force must be directly and gradually
applied for 1 minute.
Figure 5
3.6. Contact Insertion
Each contact must be inserted into the appropriate contact cavity from the wire end of the housing. There will be
an audible or tactile “click” when the contact is fully seated in the housing. The wire must be pulled back gently to
ensure that the contact locking lance has locked onto the housing locking finger. See Figure 6.
