U **Crimp-Type Attachment** U **Color-Coded Contacts** U **Accessories Available** U **High Performance Design** 

OMEGA[®] push-in crimp style contacts are manufactured from thermocouple alloy materials and are generically color-coded for easy identification. Contacts are crimpterminated outside the connector assembly and inserted into the appropriate cavity by means of an insertion tool. They can be readily removed from the connector assembly using a special removal tool. Sealing plugs are available to seal unused positions in lieu of pin or socket.

**Easy-to-Use Ratchet Action!** Specially designed MS standard crimping tool MUST be used to crimp wires properly to pins and sockets. Ratchet action ensures a complete crimp every time. 

## **Important Notes** 

requiring: 6 positive alloy pins or sockets and 6 negative alloy pins or sockets per body. 

1.   MS standard assembly tools are required to crimp and assemble connectors properly. Order with first purchase. 

   3.  Order bodies in mating pairs. Style MC mates with both style FF and style FC. 

2.  Match pins and sockets to thermocouple alloys–Example: A 12-cavity connector carries 

   4.  Backshell cable clamps are recommended with each cord style connector. 

- 6 thermocouple circuits (pairs)
