* No TUV Recognition

1

Based on: 105°C rated or better cable of the largest size, Properly calibrated APP®

recommended tooling, and a 25°C ambient temperature. UL rating not to exceed the

maximum operating temperature. CSA rating below a 30°C temperature rise.

2

Limited by the thermal properties of the connector plastic housing.

3

Use APP® recommended tooling only. Alternate tools may adversely affect the

performance of our connectors along with UL and CSA recognition.

4

Tested with contact part number 261G2.
