Product Specification provides test and performance requirements for 4.75 mm [.187 in.] FASTIN FASTON Series Modular Connectors.

Transcription

1 This specification covers the requirements for the application of FASTIN FASTON Tabs, Receptacles, and Housings. The connectors are designed to accept a wire size range of 26 8 AWG. These contacts are used in housings to make simultaneous and quick matings of up to eleven separate circuits. Some housings offer a panel mount option, see Paragraph 3.6. Application may be done by hand for replacement loose piece contacts and/or machine reel mounted contacts. When corresponding with Tyco Electronics Personnel, use the terminology provided on this specification to help facilitate your inquiry for information. Basic terms and features of components are provided in Figure 1. Figure 1 This paragraph is reserved for a revision summary of the most recent additions and changes made to this specification which include the following: Updated document to corporate requirements Merged Figures 6 and 7 and renumbered Deleted K Press and related information in all instances Changed wire barrel crimp height for 250 Series 16 and 14 AWG in Figure 3 Reference Part Number and Product Code 1108 are representative numbers of FASTIN FASTON Tabs, Receptacles, and Housings. Use of these numbers will identify the product line and expedite your inquiries through a service network established to help you obtain product and tooling information. Such information can be obtained through a local Tyco Electronics Representative or, after purchase, by calling the Tooling Assistance Center or the Product Information Center number at the bottom of this page. Customer Drawings for specific products are available from the service network. The information contained in Customer Drawings takes priority if there is a conflict with this specification or with any technical documentation supplied by Tyco Electronics.

2 Product Specification provides test and performance requirements for 4.75 mm [.187 in.] FASTIN FASTON Series Modular Connectors. The following list includes available instruction sheets (408 series) that provide assembly procedures for product, operation, maintenance and repair of tooling, as well as setup and operation procedures of applicators; and customer manuals (409 series) that provides setup, operation, and maintenance of machines.

When using reeled contacts, store coil wound reels horizontally and traverse wound reels vertically. The contacts should remain in the shipping containers until ready for use to prevent deformation to the contact. The contacts should be used on a first in, first out basis to avoid storage contamination that could adversely affect signal transmissions. 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 Sulfides Nitrites Tartrates FASTIN FASTON Connectors are the multiple circuit connector version of the FASTON* Connector product. They are used primarily as harness connectors. This specification only provides information on housings and contact receptacles accepting tab widths of 9.52 mm [.375 in.], 7.92 mm [.312 in.], 6.35 mm [.250 in.], 4.75 mm [.187 in.], and 2.79 mm [.110 in.]. See Figure 2.

3 Figure 2 The wire size range for FASTIN FASTON Tabs and Receptacles is 26 through 8 AWG. The wire must be stripped to the dimension provided in Figure 3. The table in Figure 3 also provides insulation strip lengths as determined by the size contact used. Also listed are acceptable wire insulation outside diameters for the contacts. Figure 3 (cont d)

6 Figure 3 (end) Locate the contact to be crimped in the appropriate tooling according to the instructions packaged with that tooling. Detailed instructions covering the placement of contacts in the tooling and the use of such tooling is packaged with each tool. Terminate the contact according to the directions shipped with the appropriate tooling. See Section 5, TOOLING. A typical receptacle contact as it should appear after crimping is shown in Figure 4. These requirements apply equally to the tab contact. The crimp applied to the wire portion of the contact is the most compressed area and is most critical in ensuring optimum electrical and mechanical performance of the crimped contact. The crimp height must be within the dimensions provided in Figure 3.

7 Figure 4 For optimum crimp effectiveness, the crimp must be within the area shown and must meet the crimp dimensions provided in Figure 3. Effective crimp length shall be defined as that portion of the wire barrel, excluding bellmouth(s), fully formed by the crimping tool. Instructions for adjusting, repairing, and inspecting tools are packaged with the tools. See Figure 10. Front and rear bellmouths shall be evident and conform to the dimensions given in Figure 4. The cutoff tab shall be cut to the dimensions shown in Figure 4. The cutoff burr shall not exceed the dimensions shown in Figure 4. The wire barrel flash shall not exceed the dimensions shown in Figure 4 in Section X X. After crimping, the wire conductor and insulation must be visible in the transition area between the wire and insulation barrels.

8 The conductor may extend beyond the wire barrel to the maximum shown in Figure 4. The wire barrel seam must be closed with no evidence of loose wire strands visible in the seam. There shall be no twist, roll, deformation or other damage to the mating portion of the crimped contact that will prevent proper mating. See Figure 5. Figure 5 The force applied during crimping may cause some bending between the crimped wire barrel and the mating portion of the contact. Such deformation is acceptable within the following limits. 1. Up and Down The crimped contact, including cutoff tab and burr, shall not be bent above or below the datum line more than the amount shown in Figure Side to Side The side to side bending of the contact may not exceed the limits provided in Figure 6. Figure 6

9 Crimped contacts should hold the wire firmly and have a pull test tensile value meeting that specified in the chart in Figure 7. Figure 7 Housings are available in 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 11 circuit positions for your production requirements. Figure 8 shows some typical housings. For specific housing requirements, contact the Product Information number at the bottom of page 1 for more information. The temperature range of these housings is rated at up to 125 C [256 F] to permit use in areas of relatively high temperatures. Figure 8 Some 6.35 mm [.250 in.] and 4.75 mm [.187 in.] housings have optional panel mounts. See Figure 9 for panel mounting dimensions.

10 Figure 9 Damaged crimped contacts or housings must be removed, discarded, and replaced with new components. FASTIN FASTON Connectors are Recognized under the Component Program of Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. (UL) in File Number E98476 and Certified by CSA International in File Number LR7189. Figure 10 provides tool part numbers and instructional material related to wire size.

11 Hand crimping tools that accommodate the full wire size range are designed for prototype and low volume applications such as repair of damaged contacts. Applicators are designed for the full wire size range of strip fed, precision formed contacts, and provide for high volume, heavy duty, production requirements. The applicators can be used in bench or floor model power units. A power unit is an automatic or semi automatic device used to assist in the application of a product. Power unit includes the power source used to supply the force or power to an applicator. Extraction Tools are designed to release the locking lance inside the connector housing without damaging the housing or contacts. Applicator will require minor modification for G Terminating Machine See Instruction Sheet Figure 10 (cont d)

13 Figure 11 shows a typical application of FASTIN FASTON Tab and Receptacle Contacts and Housings. This illustration should be used by production personnel to ensure a correctly applied product. Applications which DO NOT appear correct should be inspected using the information in the preceding pages of this specification and in the instructional material shipped with the product or tooling.
