Procurement Notes

Verify the exact mating housing and tooling requirements before procurement. Confirm that the specific Ariat series variant matches your design specifications. Ensure compatibility with the intended crimping tools for proper termination. Check for any recent engineering change notices (ECNs) that may affect material composition or dimensions. Validate that the supplier provides original manufacturer packaging to guarantee authenticity.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a reliable male contact is required for the Ariat connector system. Consider the current carrying capacity and voltage ratings of the associated housing. Evaluate the environmental sealing capabilities if the application involves harsh conditions. Ensure the chosen contact size aligns with the wire gauge requirements of the circuit design.

Part Context

This component is part of the Ariat family of connectors, which are known for their high density and reliability in critical applications. The Ariat series is widely used in platforms where space constraints and vibration resistance are paramount. This specific male contact works in conjunction with compatible housings and female contacts to form complete interconnect solutions.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official TE Connectivity substitution guides for verified alternatives. Generic equivalents may not meet the specific mechanical or electrical tolerances required for aerospace and defense certifications. Ensure any substitute maintains the same contact geometry and material properties.
