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 SlimSeal SSL Connectors for printed circuit (pc)
board and free--hanging applications. Connectors are available in 2 through 4 contact positions. Cavities are
marked with numbers to provide circuit identification. The pin header is available, for wire--to--board
applications, in vertical or right angle configurations for through hole mount application or surface mount
technology (SMT). The plug housings are available for free--hanging wire--to--wire applications. The plug
locking latch ensures positive mating of the connectors.
The pin header contains pre--installed solder type contacts with precision formed solder tines. The pin header
is available with boardlocks to provide stability for connector placement on the pc board. The connectors are
placed on the pc board by hand application tooling or electrically--powered machines.
The receptacle housing accepts only SlimSeal SSL Connector tab contacts sizes for 18--24 AWG wire. To
ensure proper placement, the contact orientation barrel aligns with an orientation feature on the housing cavity.
The contact contains locking lances designed to engage the housing contact retention shoulder and prevent
backing out during mating of the connector.
The contacts are available in loose--piece for terminating with manual hand--held tools, and in strip form for
terminating with semi--automatic or automatic electrically--powered machines.
The plug housing accepts only SlimSeal SSL Connector receptacle contacts sizes for 18--24 AWG wire. To
ensure proper placement, the contact orientation barrel aligns with an orientation feature on the housing cavity.
The contact contains locking lances that will engage the housing contact retention shoulder to prevent backing
out during mating of the connector.
When corresponding with Tyco Electronics Personnel, use the terminology provided in this specification to
facilitate your inquiries for information. Basic terms and features of this product are provided in Figure 1.

3. REQUIREMENTS
3.1. Safety
Do not stack component packages so high that the shipping containers buckle or deform.
3.2. Material
The housings are made of flame--retardant black thermoplastic, and the contacts are made of copper alloy.
The wire--to--wire plug and receptacle housings are made of material having an F1 rating per UL746C.
3.3. Storage
A. Shelf Life
The contacts should remain in the shipping containers until ready for use to prevent deformation of the
contacts. The contacts should be used on a first in, first out basis to avoid storage contamination that
could adversely affect performance.
B. Reeled Contacts
When using reeled contacts, store coil wound reels horizontally and traverse wound reels vertically.
3.4. Chemical Exposure
Do not store connectors or contacts near any chemical listed below as they may cause stress corrosion
cracking in the connectors or contacts.
Alkalies
Amines
Ammonia
Carbonates
Citrates
Nitrites
Phosphates Citrates
Sulfur Nitrites
Sulfur Compounds
Tartrates
3.5. Wire Selection and Preparation
The contacts will accept stranded wire sizes 18 through 24 AWG (UL Style 1007) with an insulation diameter
range of 1.3 to 2.1 mm. Proper strip length is necessary to properly insert the wire into the contact. The strip
length of the wire is shown in Figure 2.
CAUTION
Reasonable care must be taken not to nick, scrape, or cut any strands during the stripping operation.

3.6. Crimp Requirements
CAUTION
114- 13261
!
Wire insulation must NOT be cut or broken during the crimping operation. Reasonable care should be taken to provide
undamaged wire terminations.
The contact must be crimped to the wire according to instructions packaged with applicable tooling.
A. Cutoff Tab and Burr
Cutoff tabs are the remaining portion of the carrier strip after the contact is cut from the strip. The following
dimensional requirements will ensure proper application for these contacts.
1. The rear cutoff tab must not extend beyond the insulation barrel more than the limits shown in
Figure 3.
2. The burr resulting from the cutoff tab shearing must not exceed the dimension shown in Figure 3.
B. Locking Lance
The locking lances must be free of damage as shown in Figure 3.
C. Spring Members
There must be no damage or distortion to the spring members of the receptacle contacts or the tab end of
the tab contact. See Figure 3.
D. Orientation Barrel
There must be no damage or distortion to the orientation barrel. See Figure 3.
E. Wire Barrel Crimp
The crimp applied to the wire barrel 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 wire barrel must
be crimped in the “F” crimp where the tips of the wire barrel turn inward and capture the wire strands. The
wire barrel crimp height and width must be within the dimensions provided in Figure 2.
F. Effective Crimp Length
Effective crimp length is defined as that portion of the wire barrel, excluding bellmouths, fully formed by the
crimping tool. For optimum crimp effectiveness, the crimp must be within the limits shown in Figure 3.
G. Wire Barrel Seam
The seam between the two sides of the wire barrel must be completely closed and there must be no
evidence of loose wire strands or wire strands visible in the seam. Refer to Figure 3.
H. Bellmouths
The front and rear bellmouths caused by extrusion of the contact material during crimping must be within
the limits shown in Figure 3.
I. Wire Barrel Flash
Wire barrel flash is the formation that may appear on both sides of the wire barrel as the result of crimping.
It must not exceed the dimension provided in Figure 3.
J. Insulation Barrel Crimp
The insulation barrel crimp is crimped to form a support for the insulation. The insulation barrel must be
crimped where the tips of the insulation barrel wrap around and capture the wire insulation. The insulation
barrel crimp width is shown in Figure 2.
K. Insulation Barrel Seam
The two legs of the insulation barrel must completely grasp the wire insulation. The two legs of the
insulation barrel must not overlap on top of one another. Refer to Figure 3.
L. Conductor Location
The wire insulation and conductor must be visible within the transition area (between the contact insulation
barrel and wire barrel). The insulation must not enter the wire barrel. The wire conductor ends must be
flush to or extend slightly beyond the wire barrel to the limit provided in Figure 3.

M. Straightness
The force applied during crimping may cause some bending between the wire barrel and the mating
portion of the contact. Such deformation is acceptable within the following limits.
1. Up and Down
The crimped portion, including cutoff tab and burr, must not be bent beyond the limits shown in Figure 4.
2. Side--to--Side
The crimped portion must not be bent from one side to the other beyond the limits shown in Figure 4.
