| 12/01/2023 | PC000020 - Product Change. Currently, the signal contacts used in the part numbers listed are produced using a wire drawing process which creates the cross section of the contact by pulling it through a drawing die. Although this is a common process in the metal working industry, it requires special tooling and equipment. This PCN will qualify these connectors to be made with the existing drawn wire contacts that we use today OR contacts created with a more traditional progressive stamping process. The addition of this approved method for producing these contacts will provide flexibility and more options for raw material sources.
Although the change will affect some internal construction of the contacts and plastic features, it will not cause a visible difference to the external appearance of the connector. It will also not change any of the mechanical or electrical performance specifications of the connector. | Download |
