The quality assurance test most often overlooked is contact
retention (the proper seating of contacts within the connector).
This important test can now be performed simply and in a matter
of seconds with the DMC95 Retention Test Tool Kit.
Tool kit supplied in 1 lockable steel case and includes: 6 Tool
Bodies capable of testing from 1.5 to 40 pounds; 8 Pin Tips and
8 Socket tips sizes 8, 12, 16, 20, 22, 23, 24, & 26; Name Plate;
Foam Pads/Inserts; Contents Charts; Instruction Charts; and
Tool Selection Charts.
These tools check the retention of pins and sockets in electrical
connectors by indicating when propper pressure has been
applied. Each tool body is set for a different poundage range
(see Chart A on back of this page). The tester tips are color
coded for specific sizes (AWG 8, 12, 16, 20, 22, 23, 24, & 26)
and designated for pins or sockets (see Chart B). Use pin end
tipes to test sockets and socket end tips to test pins. All tips are
made of aluminum and are replaceable.
A nylon hand protector is provided with each tool body. The tools
are adjustable and can be preset at the factory to your request.
