RM/RC - Machined contacts Size 16 solid machined contacts for TRIM TRIO connectors Description Size 16 RM/RC .0625” (1.6mm) diameter contacts are precision solid machined crimp snap-in pin and sockets for heavy duty top performance requirements. Springs on both contacts are made of spring-tempered, heat-treated, beryllium copper. The socket inner spring supplies high contact pressure to ensure low-resistance contact between pin and socket. The socket contact features closed entry to prevent probe damage. Crimp barrels have insulation grips for vibration support and are provided with a cable stop and inspection hole. Features and benefits • Made from high conductive copper alloy with gold or tin over nickel plate finish. • Heat-treated beryllium copper locking springs assure proper locking and alignment of contacts in the housing. • Colour coded for different wire sizes. • Closed entry design on socket contact to prevent probe damage. • Contacts available in bulk packing Performance characteristics 13 Amp m 3 mΩ 750 V RMS 110 N min. 3.5 N max. 0.55 N min. Connector accommodation Contact body: High conductive copper alloy. Outer spring: Tempered, heat-treated, non-plated beryllium copper. Inner spring socket: Tempered, heat-treated, plated beryllium copper. Any TRIM TRIO contact can be used in any contact position in any connector in the TRIM TRIO interconnection system. • MS-M Rectangular connectors • SMS Qikmate • PI43 Eurorack connectors • UT-Bantam • UTG Metalok bantam • UTP Full plastic bantam • UTGS Shielded bantam • MBG Bantamate II Plating table K (std) = Min. 0.4 µ Gold all over,over Nickel J = Gold flash all over, over Nickel N = Min. 0.75 µ Gold all over,over Nickel T = 3 - 5 µ Tin all over, over Nickel Other platings on request RM/RC Current rating: Contact resistance: Operating voltage: Contact retention in body: Individual insertion force: Individual withdrawal force: Construction How to order (K) RM (K) RC Contact type: RM: RC: KRM: KRC: AWG Size: 16, 20, 24, 28 Size 16: .0625” (1.6mm) Diameter contacts Design variation: Crimp barrel 16 16 M M 23 23 (GE1) (GE1) K K – – Male contact bulk packing Female contact bulk packing Male contact on plastic carrier strip Female contact on plastic carrier strip Grounding contact: Plating indication: See plating table Packing quantity: No digit (std) : 50 pcs. bulk packing (RM/RC) : 2000 pcs on reel (KRM/KRC) 1000 : 1000 pcs bulk packing (RM/RC) 103 RM/RC - Machined contacts Standard RM/RC crimp contacts: Contact size 16 - Pin diameter 1.57mm (.062”) Dimensional table Pin contacts RM28M1K RM24M9K RM20M13K RM20M12K RM16M23K RM16M23GE1K Part number Fig. Socket contacts 1 2 3 4 5 6 RC28M1K RC24M9K RC20M13K RC20M12K RC16M23K RC16M23GE1K Fig. Colour code wire size 7 8 9 10 11 12 – Red Black Blue Green Green + red AWG 30 26 22 22 20 20 - mm2 28 24 20 20 16 16 0.05 0.13 0.32 0.32 0.52 0.52 - 0.08 0.20 0.52 0.52 1.50 1.50 Max. wire dia. 0.55 0.8 1.18 1.18 1.82 1.82 Max. insul. dia. 1.1 1.7 1.9 2.2 3.2 3.2 wire strip length 4.8 7.1 I.D.
