Features/Benefits Unique Insulation Displacement Contact 'I-PC' (interpentrating contact) technology Reduced data error rates Up to 10 conductor capacity Provides multiple points of contact with each conductor in the plug Micro-conical piercing tip contact blade Precision tolerance male plugs Data transmission rates above 4 Mbps Minimizes standing wave reflections at contact blade/conductor interface Variable strain relief accomodates wide range of cable sizes Mating life of 500 cycles minimum Fatigue resistant, long life springback latching arm Extremely tough polycarbonate plug V-0 to V-2 rated material		Connector Technical Specifications Electrical Contact Resistance:  10 millohms max per contact Intitial After Cycling:  20 millohms max. Insulation Resistance:  1000 megohms min. Dielectric withstanding voltage:  1000VRMS @ 60 sec. duration (adjacent contacts) Current Rating:  3.0 amps max. per contact Durability:  1000 min. mating cycles  Material Male Connector Housing:  Polycarbonate and/or polyester Flamability Rating:  passes UL94V-0 Contact Blade:  High strength grade, Phosphor Bronze Barrier Update:  50 micro-inch min. nickel Plating:  (Type R1-Standard)  15 micro-inch min. AUPD gold alloy   (comparable to 30 micro-inch hard gold)  (Type R2-Optional)  50 micro-inch hard gold Piercing Tip Area:  0.5 micro-inch minimum gold or gold alloy Mechanical Conductor Damage/Integrity:  6 strands not severed typical Accuracy of Blade Targeting:  <2 undbroken strands typical on each side of contact blade Insertion Force:  (DT) 2lbs. max.  (SP, RC) 4lbs. max. Plug Retention in Female:  20 lb max. load shall not disengage and maintains electrical continuity Cable Retention in Plug:  20 lb max. load
Piercing Tips a-          penetrate and pass through insulation/conductor to reach final assembled position Micro-conical Penetrating Points b-          extremely fine conical points of contact blade piercing tips b1-        combs strands of conductor intop 2 groups     -        micro size and conical shape of points greatly reduce breakage and/or damage to conductor strands during insertion               and penetration of contact blade b2-        forms retainer pocket in floor (i) of plug and securely seats in retainer pocket Mating Sidewalls to Conductors of Cable c-          flat, parallel sidewalls for mating to conductor c1-        blade sidewalls press the two groups of strands apart to fully interpenetrate both groups conductor strands encased                by insulation are in compression against both sidewalls to provide multiple points of contact    -         parallel mating walls (unlike angled mating walls) maintain constant contact pressure to conductor strands    -         wraparound of conductor strands on sidewalls provides significantly improved conductor staking    -         centering alignment reduces standing wave reflections Top Blade Mating Area fo Mating With Female Spring Contacts d-          curved, lead-in surface d1-        large, rectantular mating area for female spring contact (j)     -        large, flat mating area optimizes mated reliability by providing multiple points of contact Locking Barbs e-          locking barbs of low contact blade to be anchored e1-        4 anchoring points on each contact blade e2-        unique point arrangement and wall interlock secuure contact within the plug, that cannot be dislodged under severe              vibration and shock Contact Alignment f-          strong dielectric barriers between contact blades f1-        contact is precisely vertically oriented, centered between dielectric barriers f2-        provides optimum alignment with spring contact of female connector    -        prevents drag or entrapment of female spring contact by eliminating contact blade slant Cable and Plug Positive Retention g-          integral, molded cable locking bar (strain relief) g1-        cable capture area in plug housing h-          integral, molded latching arm   -          excellent memory gives dependable springback, providing positive retention within female connector   -          high fatigue resistance design prevents latching arm sag caused by field use
