1. INTRODUCTION
This specification covers the requirement for application of standard and small conductor Modular Plug
Connectors for voice and data applications. The modular plugs are available in standard and small conductor,
unshielded or shielded, with 2, 4, 6, 8, or 10 terminals on 1.02 [.040] centerline spacing. These modular plugs
are also available in line and keyed housing styles. The modular plugs contain solid wire terminals or stranded
wire terminals; each terminal design optimized for its specific application.
The modular plugs accept flat oval (“silver satin”) cable or round jacketed, unshielded or shielded cable with 2,
4, 6, 8, or 10 conductors. Specific wire approved is tinsel wire size 28 AWG, 7– and 19–strand wire, stranded
wire sizes 28 through 24 AWG, and solid wire sizes 26 through 24 AWG. Wire size 24 AWG is approved
provided the insulated conductor outside diameter is less than or equal to 0.99 [.039].
Each modular plug features two internal strain reliefs to protect the modular plug–to–cable and
terminal–to–conductor interface from damage when subjected to pulling or bending forces—the primary strain
relief grips the jacket and the secondary strain relief acts on the conductors. These modular plugs are
terminated using the insulation piercing technique. The modular plugs are available in loose piece for
terminating with manual or pneumatically–powered tools.
When corresponding with personnel, use the terminology provided in this specification to facilitate your
inquiries for information. Basic terms and features of this product are provided in Figure 1.

3. REQUIREMENTS
3.1. Material
Modular plug housings are made of flame retardant polycarbonate rated Underwriter Laboratories, Inc. (UL) 94
V–0. The terminals are made of phosphor bronze under–plated with nickel; terminal area is plated with gold,
and insulation piercing tips are plated with gold flash. Shields are made of brass plated with bright tin–lead and
under–plated with copper. External strain reliefs are made of brass plated with tin and under–plated with
copper.
3.2. Storage
A. Ultraviolet Light
Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet light may deteriorate the chemical composition used in the modular plug
material.
B. Shelf Life
The modular plugs should remain in the shipping containers until ready for use to prevent plating damage
to the terminals. The modular plugs should be used on a first in, first out basis to avoid storage
contamination that could adversely affect performance.
3.3. Chemical Exposure
Do not store modular plugs near any chemical listed below as they may cause stress corrosion cracking in
the terminals.
Alkalies
Amines
3.4. Cable Selection
Ammonia
Carbonates
Citrates
Nitrites
Phosphates Citrates
Sulfur Nitrites
Sulfur Compounds
Tartrates
Standard modular plugs accept cable with insulated conductor outside diameter range of 0.74 through 0.99
[.029 through .039].
Small conductor modular plugs accept cable with insulated conductor outside diameter range of 0.74 through
0.86 [.029 through .034]. These modular plug housings are tinted blue to differentiate from standard modular
plugs.

3.5. Cable Preparation
Proper strip length is necessary to properly insert the cable into the modular plugs. The strip length for the
cable and specific cable and modular plug combinations is shown in Figure 2.
NOTE
Reasonable care must be taken not to nick or cut the cable conductor insulation during the stripping operation.
