3.1. Selection
Refer to the table in Figure 2, and select strip or
loose--piece pin and socket contacts according to the

Notice that each contact cavity is number--coded
(front and back). Make certain that the cavities of the

contacts into the back of plug and mating socket
contacts into the back of the receptacle. If all cavities
are not used, distribute contacts evenly throughout

semi--automatic or automatic machine and applicator.
Consult your local TE Representative for assistance
in selecting the machine and applicator for your
application.
Loose--piece precision formed contacts are designed
to be crimped with the hand crimping tools listed in
the table in Figure 2. Refer to the instruction sheet
packaged with the tool, for specific crimping
procedure and tool inspection information.
