Description
Size 16 RM/RC .063” (1.6mm) diameter
contacts are precision solid machined
crimp snap-in pin and sockets for heavy
duty top performance requirements.
Springs on both contacts are made of
spring-tempered, heat-treated, berylium
copper.
The socket inner spring supplies high
contact pressure to ensure low-resistance
contact between pin and socket. The
socket contact features closed entry to
prevent probe damage. Crimp barrels have
insulation grips for vibration support and
are provided with a cable stop and
inspection hole.
Features and benefits
• Made from high conductive copper alloy
with gold or tin over nickel plate finish.
• Heat-treated beryllium copper locking
springs assure proper locking and
alignment of contacts in the housing.
• Closed entry design on RC socket
contact to prevent probe damage.
• Special “RCS” contacts with large lead-in
design
• Contacts available in bulk packing
