CONTACT SELECTOR BY MATING PIN DIAMETER
The mating pin diameter range and insertion characteristics of socket contacts are identified with the clip code, given by the last 4 digits of the part number.
1. TO SEARCH A SUITABLE SOCKET CONTACT TO MATE WITH A KNOWN PIN:
With the graph on the right, find the group code corresponding to the mating pin diameter. In the table below right, search the clip codes corresponding to the group of the corresponding data sheet.
All clip codes from the same group are interchangeable within a given contact body. This allows for contacts with a larger range of insertion characteristics to fulfill the requirements of special applications.
