GLOSSARY

TERM

DEFINITION

Adapter

Device attached to a connector to allow connection to a second device that it would not otherwise be able to attach.

Applicator

Tooling used in automatic machines to crimp stamped and formed contacts.

AWG

American wire gauge. Standardized system of wire diameter measurement. Commonly referred to as wire gauge. (Reference: National

Bureau of Standards, Copper Wire Table [Handbook 100] AVS.)

Backshell

A secondary attachment for the rear of a connector to provide strain relief, environmental protection, and/or improved aesthetics.

Blocked Cavities

Unused holes or contact positions in a connector which have been filled with sealing plugs or made inaccessible by modification to the

rear grommet.

Breakaway

Connector with a slotted coupling ring. Coupling ring is intended to fragment and allow connectors to separate without damage to the

implement in the event of an unintended pull-away.

Boot

Attachment for the back of a connector. Boots are typically flexible, made from plastic or plastisol, and may provide wire strain relief,

environmental protection, and/or improved aesthetics.

Bulkhead

Dividing wall or partition. Bulkhead connectors are designed to be mounted to a dividing wall through a cutout.

Buss

A thin conductive strip connecting multiple contacts within the body of a connector. Used to distribute electrical current to the branches

of a circuit.

Cable Clamp

An attachment to provide support and strain relief to the wire bundle where it exits the connector.

Cap (Pin Housing)

One half of a mated pair of connectors. AMPSEAL 16 pin housings mate with a receptacle contact housing (plug) and house pin contacts.

Cavity

Hole in the connector grommet and housing, into which the contact must fit.

Compression Nut

Secondary backshell assembly. Threads onto rear of backshell to compact the wire bundle and provide additional support.

Contact

Conductive device crimped or soldered onto the end of conductor wire to allow the transfer of electricity or data to a second conductor.

Contacts are most frequently used in multiples in connectors. Also commonly referred to as terminals, pins and/or sockets.

Contact Rating

The maximum recommended amperage to be passed through a wire terminal.

Coupling Ring

Attached cylindrical ring used to lock mated connectors together.

Crimp

The physical compression of a contact barrel around a conductor to make an electrical connection.

Crimping Die

The part of a crimping tool that physically compresses the contact barrel and shapes the crimp.

Diode

Electronic component that allows electrical flow in one direction only.

Dust Cover

Cap used to protect and conceal the interface of an unmated connector.
