Common Contacts |
|
|
The word “common” describes the Deutsch contact system
well. Solid and stamped contacts can be used interchangeably
in any Deutsch connector. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
The stamped and formed style includes 10 sizes each of pin and
socket contacts that terminate 10-22 AWG (5.0 - 0.35mm²). The
specific contact is determined by the outside diameter of wire
insulation and conductor size. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
The solid style contact terminates wire from 6 AWG to 20 AWG
(13 - 0.5mm²). The solid style is available in 6 sizes each of pin
and socket. The applicable contact is determined by the size of the conductor only. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
The selection of Deutsch Industrial connectors insures that the
contact termination system will be compatible. This reduces
changes in the assembly of the wire harness. It also improves
performance, reliability and maintainability. Critical functions
to any electrical system. The use of a common contact
system eliminates many of the failures reported in harnesses
where hundreds of different terminations are used. The end
result of selecting Deutsch is increased profits and long term
performance. |

Crimped Contacts |
|
|
Mechanically crimping contacts is now the
dominant wire termination method, for
some very good reasons: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
1) Since no wet process is involved,
corrosion is not a problem. No adhesives,
fluxes or additives are used. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
2) Strength, accuracy and over-all reliability
of a crimped contact are controlled by
the crimp tool, not the operator. The
field tools (except #4 solid style) release
the contact only after the full crimping
cycle is completed. The tools are relatively
inexpensive. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
3) With smaller wire, the crimp is as strong
as the wire itself. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
4) The joint can be inspected visually.
Viewing the wire through an inspection
hole in the contact makes inspection quick, easy and sure, both by the operator and by the inspector. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
5) The crimping tool is universal, it accepts both pins and
sockets of many types. |
