Precision Pin and Socket Contacts
Type III+, Crimp, Snap-In, Size 16
Precision formed pin and socket contacts in Size 16. They
are used in M Series, Special M Series, “G” Series,
Metrimate, Metrimate Drawer, and CPC Series 1 and 4
connectors. Contacts feature a high normal force which
provides a low resistance in significant applications such
as dry circuit signal conditions. Mating entry is closed-
ended to prevent damage from stubbing due to misalign-
ment. Stainless steel spring provides superior normal force
and retention in the housing. Tyco Electronics proprietary
gold plating process is designed so that specified plating
thicknesses are controlled on the inside of the socket,
which is the critical contact mating area. The contacts are
formed from brass. Single contact rating is 13 amperes at
30°C T-Rise.
See page 9 for product details.
Type III+, Solder Type, Size 16
As with the crimp snap-in Type III+, these precision formed
solder-type contacts are also used in M Series, Special
M Series, Metrimate, Metrimate Drawer, and CPC Series
1 and 4 connectors. Contacts feature a high normal force
which provides a low resistance in significant applications,
such as dry circuit conditions. A preformed wire barrel
accepts both stranded and solid wire, while the preformed
insulation barrel provides strain relief for various wire insu-
lation thicknesses. Mating entry is closed-ended to prevent
damage from stubbing due to misalignment. A stainless
steel spring provides superior normal force and retention
in the housing. Tyco Electronics proprietary gold plating
process is designed so that specified plating thicknesses
are controlled on the inside of the socket, which is the criti-
cal contact area. Single contact current rating is
13 amperes at 30°C Temperature Rise.
See page 10 for product details.
Type III+, Solder Tab, Size 16
A companion contact style to the crimp snap-in and solder-
type, the Type III+ Solder Tab is compatible with the same
AMP connector families, and features high normal forces to
provide a low resistance in significant applications. A pre-
crimped solder tab with slot accepts various sizes of solid
and stranded wire. Mating entry is closed-ended to prevent
stubbing due to misalignment. A stainless steel spring pro-
vides superior normal force and retention in the housing.
Tyco Electronics proprietary gold plating process is
designed so that specified plating thicknesses are con-
trolled on the inside of the socket, which is the critical con-
tact area. Single contact current rating is 13 amperes at
30°C Temperature Rise.
