HOODLESS CONTACTS USING THE EAGLE GRIP CLIP
PATENTED TECHNOLOGY
CONTACT DESIGN
• The hoodless contact consists of two parts: the contact body
and the clip (separate pressure member) are made from different
base materials.
• The high-speed screw machined contact body is made of brass.
• The use of quality crimping brass renders the annealing
operation unnecessary.
• The precision stamped and formed Eagle Grip clip is made
of beryllium-copper.
• Separate electroplating processes of the body and clip offer
the best cost-performance ratio.
• Automatic assembly lines are designed by our engineers to conduct
the body and clip assembly.
• The clip is precisely positioned in the outer shell and firmly held
in place between a shoulder and the crimp lip.
• In-line mechanical check is carried out on the assembly machine.
• Eagle Grip clip hoodless contacts are presently available
in sizes 16, 20 and 22.
• This PRECI-DIP proprietary technology is protected by
international patents.
ADVANTAGES AND CHARACTERISTICS
• 2-piece contact without hood
• Fully automatic assembly process with in-line mechanical check
• Localized finish: body and clip are plated separately
• High surface quality with a stamped and formed clip
• Precision rolling surface finish in the contact area
• Better contact redundancy thanks to 3 or 4 contact fingers
• Repeatability in the manufacturing process of the clip
(tooling and stamping)
• Limited difference between insertion and extraction mating forces
• Narrow range of the force values
• Fully integrated manufacturing process on one single production
