3. REQUIREMENTS
3.1. Storage
A. Ultraviolet Light
Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet light may deteriorate the chemical composition used in the connector
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.

Where the above environmental conditions exist, phosphor--bronze contacts are recommended instead of brass if
available.

3.2. Special Characteristics
These sealed waterproof connectors are designed for severe environmental conditions and high temperature
applications from --40_C to 150_C [--40_F to 302_F]. Wire sealing is achieved by means of an individual wire
seal which is inserted on the wire and crimped in the insulation support of the contact simultaneously with the
contact. The interfacial sealing is achieved with a pre--assembled seal ring located in the plug assembly. When
mating, the SSC housing provides an audible “click” to indicate proper connector mating. The connector has 6
different sizes and each can provide up to 12 different keying configurations. Optional colors are available for
additional keying configurations.
3.3. Wire Selection and Preparation
The receptacle contact design will accept stranded conductors and include configurations to cover the full wire
size range of 22 through 14 AWG. There are designs for each insulation diameter range and wire size
combination listed in Figure 2. The tab contact design utilizes a wire size range of 24 through 16 AWG. For
crimp specifications, refer to Application Specification 114--5082. For additional information when using metric
wire, refer to Application Specification 114--3040.
A. Size
The wire size range (stranded copper wire) for SSC is 0.30mm
2
--2.0mm
2
[22--14 AWG] .
B. Preparation
The appropriate size wire seal must be selected which will accommodate the insulation diameter of the
wire being used. The wire seal must be placed on the end of the wire prior to termination. Strip the wire to
the dimensions shown in Figure 2.

NOTE

CAUTION
Each crimp dimension represents the functional range of a wire/crimp combination when using Sealed Sensor
receptacle contacts and semi--automatic applicator equipment. There are tool designs available to meet various
application requirements. The developed crimp configuration is unique for each tool design and is acceptable provided
the crimp height is within the functional range. For crimp dimensions of a specific tool, refer to instruction sheet
packaged with manual tools and applicator log packaged with power tools.
Do not damage the wire seal when placing it over the wire.
!
3.4. Crimp 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 seal shall NOT be cut or broken during the crimping operation, nor shall the insulation or wire seal 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 3. These requirements apply
equally to the tab contact.
NOTE
Periodic inspections must be made to ensure crimped contact formation is consistent as shown.
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 be within the area shown 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 22.
C. Bellmouths
Front and rear bellmouths shall be evident and conform to the dimensions given in Figure 3.
D. Cutoff Tab
The cutoff tab shall be cut to the dimensions shown in Figure 3.
E. Burrs
The cutoff burr shall not exceed the dimensions shown in Figure 3.
F. Wire Barrel Flash
The wire barrel flash shall not exceed the dimensions shown in Figure 3 in Section X--X.
