DIP Connector Features
• Patented offset tines
produce Torq-Tite™
termination for added
reliability.
• Mil-DTL-83503/6 approved
• One-piece construction.
• 14, 16, 24,and 40 pin versions.
• Patented Torq-Tite™ contacts, ensure reliable gas-tight
terminations.
• Double barbs bite into
plastic, retaining contact
firmly in insulator.
• Gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts, standard tin-lead
plated contacts optional.
• Accepts 28-30 AWG stranded or solid conductors.
• Spring-temper phosphor
bronze contact material
resists breakage
during bending or
straightening
• Simple assembly – bench press or low cost hand tool is all that’s
needed for terminating cable and connectors.
• All pin numbers clearly marked and legible before and after
assembly. Numbering is arranged to meet MIL-DTL-83503
specifications for standard IC DIP numbering.
operations.
• Optional strain relief clips are easily installed. Allows top center,
vertical cable routing to reduce possibility of damage to contact
pins during removal of DIP from socket.
• Two tail lengths are
available for use with
standard or low profile
DIP sockets. .012 in. x
.021 in. contact cross-
section provides proper
mating with a variety of
DIP sockets.
• Two contact tail lengths available — .175 in. standard or optional
130 in. length for mating with low profile Dip Sockets.
Strain Relief
Optional metal strain relief straps are available.
Connection is isolated from mechanical strain
by the bend in the cable, as it is folded over
the top of the assembled connector. The Strain
Relief Strap is placed over the cable and
snaps into a recess on the connector. A
centralized top cable exit is created in the
finished cable assembly.
Contact Identification
Every contact position is numbered, per Mil-
DTL-83503, for easy identification. In addition,
a beveled corner at pin #1 enhances
orientation of the connector to the mating DIP
Socket, even in blind installations.
Assembly
The CT200 DIP Hand Tool is designed to
terminate out 14 and 16 pin DIP Connectors. It
is easy to use, lightweight and compact,
making it an ideal tool for field replacement
work or low volume assembly applications. DIP
connectors can also be assembled to cable
using CW’s CT301 76/84 Bench Press.
