holding 2,000 contacts for use with the automatic pneumatic crimp
tools, catalog part numbers 9550-0 and 9550-1; packaged in reels
holding 1,000 contacts for use with the automatic pneumatic crimp
tools, catalog part number 9555-0-2. the same type carrier is used for
both male and female contacts.
all male and female crimp contacts can be ordered in reels by adding
letter “r” after the contact part number, such as mC6020dr for a male
contact and FC6026dr for a female contact.
