FAQ

<p>Temper-Grip contacts are designed to be terminated with wire based on AWG (American Wire Gauges) such as EN2267 wires. In the case of industrial wires defined by square millimeters sections, please consult us.</p>

<p>These contacts are rated for 500 mating cycles.</p>

<p>Standard crimp tools such as M22520/23-01 (automatic) or M22520/23-02 (manual) are used, with appropriate die sets and locators as specified.</p>

<p>They are compatible with MIL-DTL-38999, EN3645, EN4165 for size 8 as they fit in a standard cavity. For size 4, they are compatible with the Amphenol Socapex D38999 Power series.<br>Other options are available (AS5015), please consult us.</p>

<p>Main markets include Navy, Ground Vehicles, Space, and C4ISR, especially in high-current or high-temperature environments.</p>

<p>For a Size 8 contact, the admissible electrical overload is 92A for 40s and 460A for 0.6s&nbsp;<br>For a Size 4 contact, the admissible electrical overload is 160A for 40s and 800A for 0.6s</p>

<p>They are rated for continuous operation within a temperature range of -65°C to +200°C (and can be considered for higher than 200°C upon consultation with Amphenol Socapex).</p>

<p>Temper-Grip socket contacts can increase allowed current by up to 40% (compared to standard contacts in the same envelope). For reference only and mated with High-Current pins.</p>

<p>Main features include Napkin-Ring technology for stable contact at high temperatures, hooded and non-hooded versions, several termination options, standard crimp tool compatibility, and a high-current pin option.</p>
