I went and looked at a bunch oif them last night and could not see this, but I didn't take any of the contacts out of the holders. They sure didn't look rolled to me, but I agree that this deserves a closer look. > >And the tips on these are > >gold plated, while ours are not. > > >From what I've figured out so far the two rightmost columns are part > numbers.

I'm sure you're right that this is an options table for different kinds of materials and finishes, including some that do not get the gold plating on the tips. I'm pretty sure the first 2 columns are the cross section of the copper in the wire that these can be used with, and the overall wire diameter, including insulation. These seem appropriate for the wire used in the FI harnesses. > So the table is: > > 0,5...1,0 mm^2 1,8---2,8 Brass Unplated 925558-8 925558-6 > 0,5...1,0 mm^2 1,8---2,8 Brass Zinc 925558-7 925558-5 > 0,5...1,0 mm^2 1,8---2,8 Bronze Tips plated with 925558-4 925558-4 > .0008mm of gold > 0,5...1,0 mm^2 1,8---2,8 Bronze Tips plated with 925558-3 925558-3 > .0004mm of gold > 0,5...1,0 mm^2 1,8---2,8 Bronze Zinc 925558-6 925558-2 925558-2 > 0,5...1,0 mm^2 1,8---2,8 Bronze Unplated 925558-5 925558-1 925558-1 > > ? ? Material Plating ? ? ? The one thing that bothers me is that the earliest date on this drawing is 71. It should be 67. Of course this part may have superceeded an earlier part, or perhaps they just made a new drawing in 71. IIRC, this drawing also calls out a small oval perforation at the base of each fork that I don't remember seeing on our parts, but I would have to take one apart to verify that. The other thing to keep in mind is that AMP is a HUGE company and a partial catalog of their products 10 years ago was 3 inches thick. It's hard to describe the amount of variety available from them, as well as the number of parts that go obsolete every year. - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- Search old messages on the Web!
