1. INTRODUCTION
This specification covers the requirements for application of Type III+ (Size 16) Contacts. These contacts have
a pin diameter of 1.57 mm [.062 in.]. A color dot appears on the loose piece or (loose piece only) contact spring
which designates the applicable wire size and matches the color dot above the hand tool crimping section.
These requirements apply to hand or automatic machine crimping tools for the insulated grip contacts.
When corresponding with TE Connectivity Personnel, use the terminology provided in this

NOTE
Where the above environmental conditions exist, phosphor-bronze contacts are recommended instead of brass if available.
3.2. Special Characteristics
The solder type and solder tab versions will accept various sizes of solid or stranded wire. For soldering
requirements, follow the recommendations of the wire manufacturer and soldering equipment manufacturer.
Refer to Manual 402-40.
3.3. Wire Selection and Preparation
The total wire size range for these contacts is 30 through 14 AWG. The wire must be stripped to the
dimensions shown in Figure 2.
NOTE
The applied crimp dimension (within the functional range of the product) is dependent on the termination tooling being used.
Refer to the documentation (applicator logs and instruction sheets) supplied with the termination tooling for the applied crimp
height. See Section 5, TOOLING.
CAUTION
DO NOT nick, scrape, or cut the wire conductor during the stripping operation.

3.4. Crimped Contact Requirements
The contact must be crimped onto the wire according to instructions packaged with applicable tooling. After
crimping, the contact should appear as shown in Figure 3. A typical pin contact is shown as it should appear
after crimping; these requirements apply equally to the socket contact.
CAUTION
The wire insulation must not be damaged during the crimping process.
A. Wire Barrel Crimp
The crimp applied to the wire portion of the contact is the most compressed area and is most critical in
ensuring optimum electrical and mechanical performance of the crimped contact. The contact wire barrel
crimp height must be within the dimension provided in Figure 2.
B. Effective Crimp Length
For optimum crimp effectiveness, the crimp must be within the area shown in Figure 3 and must meet the
crimp dimensions provided in Figure 2. Effective crimp length shall be defined as that portion of the wire
barrel, excluding bellmouth(s), fully formed by the crimping tool. Instructions for adjusting, repairing, and
inspecting tools are packaged with the tools. See Section 5, TOOLING.
C. Bellmouths
Front and rear bellmouths shall be evident and conform to the dimensions given in Figure 3.
D. Cutoff Tabs
The cutoff tab shall be cut to the dimensions shown in Figure 3.
E. Burrs
The cutoff burr shall not exceed the dimensions shown in Figure 3.
F. Wire Barrel Flash
The wire barrel flash shall not exceed the dimensions shown in Figure 3, Section X-X.
G. Insulation Barrel Crimp
The insulation barrel shall grip the insulation firmly. A slight cut in the insulation by the insulation barrel is
permissible as this causes no problems in actual use. Insulation crimp shall comply to width and height
provided in Figure 3.

H. Wire Location
The wire conductor and insulation must be visible in the transition area between the wire and insulation
barrels.
I. Conductor Extension
The conductor may extend beyond the wire barrel to the maximum shown.
J. Wire Barrel Seam
The wire barrel seam must be closed with no evidence of loose wire strands visible in the seam.
NOTE
Periodic inspections must be made to ensure crimped contact formation is consistent as referenced.

3.5. Axial Concentricity
The axial concentricity of a crimped contact must be within an area defined by the diameter of a circle that has
the same center as the centerline of the contact. The diameter of the circle will depend on the wire sizes. See
Figure 4. This measurement does not apply to posted contacts.
