Insulators with pin contacts fit into the receptacle or in-line receptacle, as well as into the plug. The same applies to insulators with socket contacts. In general, insulators with socket contacts are installed in the live part (to provide protection from accidental touch). The way of mounting the contacts in the insulator is important because of the termination technology. The termination technology for ODU MINI-SNAP® includes: soldering, crimping and PCB. Contacts are turned brass contacts, nickel plated with a gold finish available in 0.5mm to 2mm diameter and rated for 5,000 mating cycles.
