A. Cutoff Tab and Burr
The cutoff tab is the remaining portion of the carrier strip after the contact is cut from the strip. The
following dimensional requirements will ensure proper application for these contacts.
1. The cutoff tab must not exceed the dimension shown in Figure 5.
2. There must be no burr resulting from the cutoff tab shearing.
B. Flash
The flash is the formation that may appear on both sides of the wire barrel as the result of crimping. Flash
must not exceed the dimension shown in Figure 5.
C. Wire Barrel Seam
The seam between the two sides of the wire barrel must be completely closed. There must be no loose
wire strands or wire strands visible in the seam. Wire strands must not be embedded in the outside of the
wire barrel.
D. Wire Barrel Crimp
The crimp applied to the wire barrel is the most compressed area and is critical in ensuring optimum
electrical and mechanical performance of the crimped contact. No strands can be folded back over the
wire insulation. The wire barrel crimp height and width must be within the dimensions provided in Figure 5.
E. Insulation Barrel Crimp
The insulation barrel must be crimped in the “F” crimp where the tips of the insulation barrel turn inward
and capture the throat of the wire seal and the wire insulation. The insulation barrel crimp width must be
within the dimensions provided in Figure 5.
F. Bellmouths
The front bellmouth and rear bellmouth shall be evident and conform to the dimensions shown in Figure 5.
G. Effective Crimp Length
Effective crimp length is defined as that portion of the wire barrel, excluding bellmouths, fully formed by the
tooling. For optimum crimp effectiveness, the crimp must be within the area shown in Figure 5.
H. Wire Location
The wire conductors must be visible within the transition area (between the wire barrel and insulation
barrel). The wire insulation may be visible within the transition area. Wire strands must not extend beyond
the height of the wire barrel. The conductor ends must be flush with, or extend beyond, the end of the wire
barrel to the dimension shown in Figure 5.
I. Locking Lances
The locking lances shall not be deformed in any way. The position of each locking lance, measured from
the body of the contact to the tip of the locking lance, must be within the specified limit in Figure 5.
J. Wire Seal Location and Workmanship
The wire seal shall not enter the wire barrel. The throat of the wire seal must protrude into the transition
area (between the wire barrel and insulation barrel) to the minimum stated in Figure 5.
There shall be no cuts, flaws, or other damage to the wire seal. The tips of the insulation barrel may
partially pierce the throat of the wire seal; however , the throat must not be split. The insulation barrel crimp
must maintain an even grip on the throat of the wire seal without tilting. The wire seal shall not slant
beyond the limit provided in Figure 5.
