Note on Dimensions: Maximum Crimp Barrel Dimensions are not target dimensions but the maximum allowable for proper fit into the connector housing. Actual acceptable crimp dimensions will be less than these maximums.
Note on Blade Angle Distortion: Required for proper contact retention in housing. Out-of-specification contacts can increase milli-ohm resistance and affect mating/unmating forces.
Note on Reel Cutoff Width: For contacts purchased on a reel. A properly set applicator trims the carrier strip without damaging the contact mating surface. Not exceeding maximum dimensions ensures proper housing fit; not violating minimum dimensions protects contacts from damage. Crimp cutoff must be symmetric.
Resistance Test Setup: See "Resistance Test Setup"
Pull Test Setup: See "Pull Test Setup"
Resistance Conversion Formula: milli-ohms (m) = milli-Volts(mV) IDC
