The Tyco 65910 catalog presents a comprehensive range of precision pin and socket contacts designed for AMP M Series, CPC, Metrimate, and “G” Series connectors. It includes signal, power, and coaxial contact families, each with details on contact type, dimensions, and applicable connector series.
Technical information covers current‑carrying capabilities, a base‑current rating method, and rating factors for connector loading and wire size. The document also provides contact‑selection charts, application tooling guidance, and technical support contact numbers for the United States, Canada, and other regions.
