Design of Receptacles

A special feature of the INGUN Receptacles of the newest generation is the so-called "INGUN-Profile". This is a lengthwise crimp (applied either three or four times), which is positioned directly below the collar or press-ring of the Receptacle.

The Profile plays the following roles:

• Equalises differences of the drilled hole diameter
• Leads to a smooth insertion force of the Receptacle in the assembly hole
• Allows self-registration of the Receptacle and also prevents slanting
• Guides and centres the Test Probe
• Reduces the influence of the assembly hole on the securing force of the Test Probe

Normally, the "INGUN-Profile" is combined with the "INGUN Spiral Crimp". This is a "4-Point Crimp", which is applied to the lower end of the Receptacle in a spiral shape spread out over 360°.

This type of securing crimp ensures:

• Low and smooth insertion forces
• Smooth extraction forces of the Test Probe
• High flexibility and elasticity of the securing crimp points to increase the number of insertion cycles of the Test Probe

These excellent insertion and securing conditions derive from the fact that the various securing levels are gradually reached and the crimp points are only slightely malleably deformed. Subsequently, the final securing force of the Test Probe is only then achieved when the last crimp point has been reached.
