Series 41 Master 6/3/02 10:53 AM Page 2 SERIES 41 CONTACTS "LARGE SURFACE AREA CONTACT MATING SYSTEM" HIGH RELIABILITY "CLOSED ENTRY" DESIGN PRECISION MACHINED SOLID COPPER ALLOY Spring retention member provides uniform retention of male contact when mated. Male Contact A A Female Contact Large surface area contact mating surface Spring retention member All contacts of the Series 41 connector family utilize the "Large Surface Area (L.S.A.) Contact Mating System." The "L.S.A. Contact Mating System" insures the lowest level of contact resistance during mechanical endurance tests of 1000 coupling cycles or more. Contact insertion/withdrawal forces remain substantially the same during the life of the connector. The Series 41 connectors use only "Closed Entry" design female contacts. The "Closed Entry" design prevents probe damage to the female contacts, and will not allow the female contact to SECTION A-A ENLARGED CURRENT - TEMPERATURE DERATING CURVE TEMPERATURE RISE CURVE (TESTED PER IEC PUBLICATION 512-3, TEST 5a) (TESTED PER IEC PUBLICATION 512-3, TEST 5b) RATED CURRENT (AMPS) RATED CURRENT (AMPS) accept misaligned or bent male contacts. All Series 41 contacts are precision machined from solid copper alloy barstock. They are durable, smooth in construction, and have greater amperage capacities than hollow, sheet metal style contacts. The Series 41 contact, having a large contact surface area, produces less heat at the contact surface, thereby permitting the connector to operate at high amperage levels continuously, and still maintain lower connector temperatures.
