Open barrel crimp contact reduces costs

High-reliability connector maker Harwin has introduced the Datamate Trio-Tek open barrel crimp contact. Performing to the same high-reliability standards as conventional Datamate contacts, Trio-Tek automates the crimp process to effect significant savings in assembly time and process costs. It is ideally suited to both medium- and high-volume processes, and embodies a latching feature that simplifies the insertion of contacts into the housing.

Trio-Tek is tested in accordance with BS 9525-F0033. A crimp inspection window in the housing aids quality control, while the insulation crimp barrel provides improved strain relief. The contacts come with jackscrews (J-Tek) and are available both loose and reeled.

Typical applications include high-reliability, high-volume markets such as commercial aerospace, data communications, medical devices, engine management and high-end industrial equipment, including pumps, heavy machinery and drilling rigs.
