Crimp electrical contact Temper-Grip

springfor industrial applications

Key features

• Up to ~40% higher allowable current for the same contact size versus standard contacts
• Napkin-Ring technology prevents tine relaxation at elevated temperatures to maintain true contact and reduce resistance
• Available in hooded and non-hooded versions
• Multiple termination options; compatible with standard crimp tools (e.g. M22520 series with appropriate dies)
• Optional High-Current pin to optimize heat-rise and current capacity
• Endurance rated for 500 mating/unmating cycles

Applications

• MIL-DTL-38999 series connectors
• 38999 POWER Series implementations
• EN4165 and EN3645 connector families (size-dependent)

Technical information
Mechanical: Endurance 500 mating/unmating cycles; shock and vibration performance per EN3645 / MIL-DTL-38999. Electrical: Refer to heat-rise curves for maximum continuous current; electrical overload capability: Size 8 — 92 A for 40 s and 460 A for 0.6 s; Size 4 — 160 A for 40 s and 800 A for 0.6 s. Environmental: Continuous operating temperature range −65°C to +200°C.

Additional product details
Part number example: 612793. Compatibility: Compatible with MIL-DTL-38999, EN3645, EN4165 where size permits. Can be mated with standard pins or with High-Current pins (heat-rise and allowable current differ depending on pin choice). Hooded and non-hooded variants available on request.
