provides product performance and test results.
3. REQUIREMENTS
3.1. Safety
Do not stack product shipping containers so high that the containers buckle or deform.
3.2. Storage
A. Ultraviolet Light
Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet light may deteriorate the chemical composition used in the product
material.
B. Shelf Life
The product should remain in the shipping containers until ready for use to prevent deformation to
components. The product should be used on a first in, first out basis to avoid storage contamination that
could adversely affect performance.
When exposed to atmospheric environments for prolonged periods of time, deformation of the plastic
during soldering is possible. To prevent plastic deformation, bake in oven at 85°C for 4 hours prior to
soldering. Deformation not in the mating area is not detrimental to product performance. See Figure 2 for
image of allowable deformation.

C. Chemical Exposure
Do not store product near any chemical listed below as they may cause stress corrosion cracking in the
material.

3.4. Contact Damage
There shall be no evidence of physical damage or distortion to any portion of the contact after wire termination.
3.5. Housing Damage
There shall be no cracks, breaks, or other visible damage to the housing due to wire termination.
Skiving of plastic on the inside wall of the housing cavity is permissible, provided that conditions specified in the
previous statement are met.
3.6. Broken Strands
There shall be no broken strands in the conductor after termination.
3.7. Exposed Conductor
Exposed conductors shall not exceed the limits specified in Figure 4 after termination.

3.9. Header Application
Standard temperature headers are recommended for solder dip, hand solder, or concentrated heat
applications. They are not recommended for applications requiring preheating of the assembly.
High temperature headers may be used in similar applications as standard temperature headers and are also
recommended for wave solder and infrared reflow solder processes. Temperature ratings for high temperature
headers are listed in Figure 7. For solderability and heat resistance requirements, see Product Specification
108-1050.

4. TOOLING
Applicators contain the tooling for feeding and crimping strip-form terminals. Automatic machines provide the
power to operate the applicator. See Figure 9 for representative images.
Tooling information for product part numbers is available from
www.te.com
or by calling the Product Information
Center at the number at the bottom of page 1.
CAUTION
Tool life may be significantly reduced when crimping comparable steel/nickel plated steel terminals.
