Type III+ Stamped and Formed Contacts
1. SCOPE
1.1. Content
This specification covers the performance, tests and quality requirements for TE Connectivity (TE)
crimp Type III+, stamped and formed contacts. These contacts are used in connectors and other
electronic components and are primarily intended for use where coupling means is provided
separately from individual contact.
1.2. Qualification
When tests are performed on the subject product line, the procedures specified in Figure 1 shall be
used. All inspections shall be performed using the applicable inspection plan and product drawing.
1.3. Successful qualification testing on the subject product line was completed on 26Jan88. The
Qualification Test Report number for this testing is 501-66. This documentation is on file at and
available from Engineering Practices and Standards (EPS).
2. APPLICABLE DO CUM ENTS
The following documents form a part of this specification to the extent specified herein. In the event
of conflict between the requirements of this specification and the product drawing, the product
drawing shall take precedence. In the event of conflict between the requirements of this specification
and the referenced documents, this specification shall take precedence.

3. REQ UIREM ENTS
3.1. Design and Construction
Product shall be of the design, construction physical dimensions and materials specified on the
applicable product drawing.
3.2. Rating
— Current/Voltage: The continuous current rating for individual contacts cannot be applied directly
to the number of contacts as they are dependent on the thermal and physical properties of the
material. System design shall assure that continuous current rating does not create internal hot
spots that exceed the temperature designated by the connector specification, during steady
state or transient conditions.
— Operating temperature:
• -55 to 150°C for precious metal plated contacts
• -55 to 90°C for tin plated contacts
