housings are made of
general purpose phenolic
(black) or polyester (black).
Phenolic housings are
molded of material per
MIL-M-14, Type CFG. The per-

this material makes the con-
nector an excellent choice in
applications where excep-
tional resistance to acids,
alkalies, or solvents is not a
prime factor.

a) Wire Size - Larger wire
will carry more current
since it has less internal
resistance to current flow
and generates less heat.
