Receptacles, and Housings 13 AUG 09 Rev C
All numerical values are in metric units [with U.S. customary units in brackets]. Dimensions are in millimeters [and
inches]. Unless otherwise specified, dimensions have a tolerance of +0.13 [+.005] and angles have a tolerance of +2_.
Figures and illustrations are for identification only and are not drawn to scale.
1. INTRODUCTION
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.

3. REQUIREMENTS
3.1. Storage
A. Ultraviolet Light
Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet light may deteriorate the chemical composition used in the housing
material.
B. Reel Storage
When using reeled contacts, store coil wound reels horizontally and traverse wound reels vertically.
C. Shelf Life
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.
D. Chemical Exposure
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
Where the above environmental conditions exist, phosphor--bronze contacts are recommended instead of brass.
3.2. Special Characteristics
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.

3.3. Wire Selection and Preparation
A. Type
The wire size range for FASTIN--FASTON Tabs and Receptacles is 26 through 8 AWG.
B. Preparation
The wire must be stripped to the dimension provided in Figure 3.
Do not nick, scrape, or cut the wire conductor during the stripping operation.
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.

3.4. Crimped Contact Requirements
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.
Wire insulation shall NOT be cut or broken during the crimping operation, nor shall the insulation be crimped into the
contact wire barrel. Reasonable care should be taken by tooling operators to provide undamaged wire terminations.
A typical receptacle contact as it should appear after crimping is shown in Figure 4. These requirements apply
equally to the tab contact.
A. Crimp Height
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.

B. Crimp Length
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.
C. Bellmouths
Front and rear bellmouths shall be evident and conform to the dimensions given in Figure 4.
D. Cutoff Tab
The cutoff tab shall be cut to the dimensions shown in Figure 4.
E. Burrs
The cutoff burr shall not exceed the dimensions shown in Figure 4.
F. Wire Barrel Flash
The wire barrel flash shall not exceed the dimensions shown in Figure 4 in Section X--X.
G. Wire Location
After crimping, the wire conductor and insulation must be visible in the transition area between the wire
and insulation barrels.

H. Conductor Location
The conductor may extend beyond the wire barrel to the maximum shown in Figure 4.
I. Wire Barrel Seam
The wire barrel seam must be closed with no evidence of loose wire strands visible in the seam.
J. Twist and Roll
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.

K. Straightness
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 6.
2. Side to Side
The side--to--side bending of the contact may not exceed the limits provided in Figure 6.
Periodic inspections must be made to ensure crimped contact formation is consistent as shown.

3.5. Tensile Inspection
Crimped contacts should hold the wire firmly and have a pull--test tensile value meeting that specified in the
chart in Figure 7.
Adjust tensile testing machine for head travel of 25.4mm [1 inch] per minute. Directly and gradually apply force for 1
minute.

3.7. Repair
Damaged crimped contacts or housings must be removed, discarded, and replaced with new components.
If a damaged contact is apparent before the contacts are inserted into the housing, cut the wire in back of the contact
and reterminate the wire end. If contacts or housing are damaged after insertion, the wire must be cut directly in back
of the housing and reterminated with new contacts and housing. See Section 5, TOOLING.
4. QUALIFICATION
FASTIN--FASTON Connectors are Recognized under the Component Program of Underwriters Laboratories,
Inc. (UL) in File Number E28476 and Certified by CSA International in File Number LR7189.

Tyco Electronics Tool Engineers have designed machines for a variety of application requirements. For assistance in
setting up prototype and production line equipment, contact Tyco Electronics Tool Engineering through your local Tyco
Electronics Representative or call the Tooling Assistance Center number at the bottom of page 1.
SHand Crimping Tool
Hand crimping tools that accommodate the full wire size range are designed for prototype and
low--volume applications such as repair of damaged contacts.
SApplicator
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.
Each applicator is shipped with a metal identification tag attached. DO NOT remove this tag or disregard the
information on it. Also, a packet of associated paperwork is included in each applicator shipment. This information
should be read before using the applicator; then it should be stored in a clean, dry area near the applicator for future
reference. Some changes may have to be made to the applicators to run in all related power units. Contact the Tooling
Assistance Center number located at the bottom of page 1 for specific changes.
SPower 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.
SExtraction Tools
Extraction Tools are designed to release the locking lance inside the connector housing without
damaging the housing or contacts.
