Procurement Notes

Verify the specific material composition and plating requirements against the official datasheet before procurement. Confirm that the application environment does not require impedance matching, as this part is specified for non-impedance matched use. Ensure compatibility with the intended housing or connector body. Check for any recent product change notices (PCN) that may affect specifications. Validate that the supplier provides traceability documentation required for regulated industries.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a Size 8 contact is required for non-impedance matched coaxial connections. It is appropriate for applications where standard signal integrity over short distances is sufficient without controlled impedance constraints. Consider the mating receptacle type to ensure proper engagement. Evaluate environmental sealing requirements if the assembly will be exposed to harsh conditions. Verify that the crimping tooling matches the contact design for optimal termination quality.

Part Context

This component belongs to the broader family of coaxial contacts offered by TE Connectivity for high-reliability interconnect solutions. Size 8 contacts are commonly used in military and aerospace standards such as MIL-DTL-38999 series connectors. They provide a balance of current carrying capacity and signal performance for various RF and digital signals in ruggedized enclosures.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official cross-reference lists for verified substitutes. Ensure any replacement maintains the Size 8 form factor and non-impedance matched characteristics. Verify material and plating compatibility to prevent galvanic corrosion.
