hardware combination
C - Determine Contact Type –
This decision is based on wire
size(s) and reliability and cost
requirements of an application,
as well as the customer’s in-
plant production capabilities.
Complete specifications, includ-
ing accepted wire sizes and
available platings of all pin and
socket contacts, are presented
in the Contacts section of the
catalog (pages 30 through 43).
Application tooling for crimp-
and post-type contacts is
Choosing the appropriate con-
nector/contact/hardware
combination is essential to the
proper function of any
AMP M Series connector. First,
a customer must evaluate
each individual application
with regards to: wire size(s);
number of circuits; available
space; fastening methods; and
needs for protection, shielding,
guiding, strain relief and key-
ing. Then, the customer must
consider the following factors
to make the appropriate selec-
tion of M Series connectors
and related components.
