3. REQUIREMENTS
3.1. Material
High Current Edge Contacts are made of high conductivity copper alloy with bright tin--over--nickel plating.
Housings are glass--filled, high--temperature thermoplastic.
3.2. Storage
A. Ultraviolet Light
Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet light may deteriorate the chemical composition used in housings.
B. Reeled Contacts
When using reeled contacts, store coil wound reels horizontally and traverse wound reels vertically.
C. Shelf Life
The contacts and housings should remain in the shipping containers until ready for use to prevent
deformation to the contacts and damage to the housings. They should be used on a first in, first out basis
to avoid storage contamination that could adversely affect signal transmissions.
