All numerical values are in metric units [with U.S. customary units in brackets]. Dimensions are in millimeters [and
inches]. Unless otherwise specified, dimensions have a tolerance of +0.13 [+.005] and angles have a tolerance of +2_.
Figures and illustrations are for identification only and are not drawn to scale.
1. INTRODUCTION
This specification covers the requirements for application of Metrimate Drawer Connectors. These
connectors are available in 4, 12, 19, or 25 circuit positions in the standard version connector and in 8 and 15
positions in the power version. They are designed for use with various contacts and wire sizes 30--8 AWG. The
wires can be crimped with hand tools or by automatic machines. The plug housings accept socket contacts
and the receptacle housings accept pin contacts.
Figure 1 shows typical products and their features. The terms identifying the features are used throughout this
specification.

3. REQUIREMENTS
3.1. Storage
A. Ultraviolet Light
Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet light may deteriorate the chemical composition used in the housing
material.
B. Reeled Contacts
When using reeled contacts, store coil wound reels horizontally and traverse wound reels vertically.
C. Shelf Life
The contacts should remain in the shipping containers until ready for use to prevent deformation to the
contact. The contacts should be used on a first in, first out basis to avoid storage contamination that could
adversely affect signal transmissions.
3.2. Mounting Holes and Panel Cutouts
A. Panel Mounting
The connector halves can be installed or removed from either the back or the front of the panel. Usually,
the plug is mounted in the cabinet panel, while the receptacle is mounted in the drawer panel. Dimensions
and layout for mounting holes and panel cutouts are shown in Figure 2.

3.3. Mounting Hardware
Connector plug housings are float--mounted with a shoulder screw to allow some movement of the housings for
easier mating. The screws are not included, but may be ordered (Part No. 208211--1 or 208211--4).
3.4. Wire Size and Preparation
Contacts are available for the wire sizes specified. Prepare wire for crimping by stripping insulation according
to dimensions in Figure 4. DO NOT nick, scrape, or cut the stranded or solid wire conductor during stripping
operation.

3.5. Loading Contacts Into Housing
Normally an insertion tool is not required to insert contacts into housing, but, if the wire bundle is large or the
individual wires are fragile, the use of an insertion tool is recommended. Refer to Section 5, TOOLING.
NOTE
After loading contact, pull back lightly on the wire to make sure contact is locked into position.

3.6. Wire Dress
A minimum of 51 mm [2 in.] is required between the connector and a cable tie, also between the connector and
any bend of the wires.
3.7. Mating
This connector is specially designed with solid molded guide pins on the plug and extra long collars on the pin
housings of receptacle. These features help to ensure positive mating of the connector halves. The radial float
feature of the plug allows blind mating with misalignment of up to 2.29 [.090]. Connector halves should bottom,
but may be separated by up to 2.03 [.080] for size 16 contacts and 1.27 [.050] for size 8 contacts.
3.8. Polarizing and Keying
The connector features polarizing slots on the plug and polarizing keys on the receptacle. To prevent
mismating same--size connector halves, keying plugs may be placed in socket cavities of the connector plug.
Keying plugs are available under Part No. 207654--1.
3.9. Contact Crimp Criteria
Contacts must be crimped to designated height. Refer to Application Specification (See Paragraph 2.4) for
particular type of contacts.
3.10. Connector Application
The Drawer Connector can be used free--hanging or mounted in a panel. Refer to Paragraph 2.5 for applicable
instruction sheets on assembling connectors.
3.11. Soldering and Cleaning (Solder Type Contacts Only)
A. Flux Selection
Solder type contacts must be fluxed prior to soldering. Selection of flux must be compatible with the solder
method used, and with safety requirements.
B. Cleaning
Removal of fluxes, residues, and activators is mandatory. Cleaning procedures will depend on the type of
flux used. The following cleaning compounds and chemicals may be used to clean the contacts without
any adverse effects to them or the housings. See Figure 5.
