3. REQUIREMENTS
3.1. Storage
A. Ultraviolet Light
Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet light may deteriorate the chemical composition used in the contact
materials.
B. Reeled Contacts
When using reeled contacts, store coil wound reels horizontally and traverse wound reels vertically.
C. Shelf Life
The contacts should remain in the shipping containers until ready for use to prevent deformation to the
contacts. The contacts should be used on a first in, first out basis to avoid storage contamination that
could adversely affect signal transmissions.
D. Chemical Exposure
Do not store contacts near any chemicals listed below , as they may cause stress corrosion cracking in the
contacts.
Alkalies Ammonia Citrates Phosphates Citrates Sulfur Compounds
Amines Carbonates Nitrites Sulfur Nitrites Tartrates
Where the above environmental conditions exist, phosphor--bronze contacts are recommended instead of brass if
available.
3.2. Materials
The pin contacts are made of brass and the socket contacts are made from copper alloy. Both contacts are
available in gold or nickel plating.
3.3. Wire Size and Prepara tion
Contacts will accept a wire size range of 20 to 14 AWG and should be terminated to stranded wire. Contacts
with an insulation crimp barrel can be used with SXL, GXL, and TXL insulation types with a minimum insulation
diameter or 1.27 mm [.050 in.] and a maximum insulation diameter of 3.33 mm [.131 in.]. See Figure 2.
