• Solid shoulder for high
tensile strength pin retention.
• Nickel plated as standard for
corrosion resistance.
• Inspection hole for
conductor strand visibility.
• Insulation cup not required
due to integral wiring sealing
connector grommet design.
• Solder is not used,
eliminating ux corrosion and
reducing assembly costs.
• Wire entry chamfer for all
wire sizes.
• No retention tangs required,
eliminating contact damage
and the need for secondary
locks.
