All numerical values are in metric units [with U.S. customary units in brackets]. Dimensions are in millimeters. Unless
otherwise specified, dimensions have a tolerance of +0.13 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 application of Economy Power II Contacts and Connectors.
These connectors are available in 2 through 12 positions and the contacts will accept stranded or solid wire in
a 22--16 AWG wire size range. Contact Product Information at the bottom of this page for information on
housing sizes 13 thru 24. The Economy Power II Connectors will mate with the same headers as standard
Economy Power Connectors. The contacts may be ordered with or without internal tongues. The contacts with
internal tongues have a higher mating force and current rating and are typically used with smaller housing
sizes. Those without tongues have a lower mating force and current rating and are typically used with larger
housing sizes.
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 and housings should remain in the shipping containers until ready for use to prevent
deformation to those components. The components 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
Amines
Ammonia
Carbonates
Citrates
Nitrites
Phosphates Citrates
Sulfides Nitrites
Sulfur Compounds
Tartrates
3.2. Material
The contacts are made from phosphor bronze, pre--tinned over copper; and the housings are made from white
UL 94V--0 Rated Nylon.
3.3. Wire Selection and Preparation
Economy Power II Contacts will accept stranded copper wire sizes and insulation diameters as listed in
Figure 2. The crimp heights and insulation barrel crimp widths are also provided.
NOTE
The applied crimp dimension (within the functional range of the product) is dependent on the termination tooling being
used. Refer to the documentation (applicator logs and instruction sheets) supplied with the termination tooling for the
applied crimp height. See Section 5, TOOLING.

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.
CAUTION
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.
!
NOTE
Periodic inspections must be made to ensure crimped contact formation is consistent as shown in Figure 3.
i
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 2.
B. Crimp Length
For optimum crimp effectiveness, the crimp must meet the crimp dimensions provided in Figure 2.
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.
NOTE
The effective crimp length is given for tooling design only, and should not be used for inspection criteria.

D. Cutoff Tab
The cutoff tab shall be cut to the dimensions shown in Figure 3 in View A.
E. Burrs
The cutoff burr shall not exceed the dimensions shown in Figure 3 in View A.
F. Wire Barrel Flash
The wire barrel flash shall not exceed the dimensions shown in Figure 3 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.

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.
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 4.
2. Side--to--Side
The side--to--side bending of the contact may not exceed the limits provided in Figure 4.
