By automating the crimp process, open-barrel crimp contact connectors can yield a reduction in assembly time and process costs. Harwin Europe's (Portsmouth, Hants, UK; www.harwin.com) Datamate Trio-Tek connector’s triangular contact simplifies crimping and enables full automation in medium- and high-volume applications. Hand crimping tools can be used for low-volume and product development and prototyping applications. The high-reliability contact has been tested in accordance with BS 9525-F0033. A crimp inspection window in the housing aids quality control; an insulation crimp barrel provides strain relief.
