Contact Retention<br />
Test Tool Calibration<br />
Equipment<br />
The RTCG-75 Retention Tester<br />
Calibration Gage is supplied to<br />
support in-house calibration of DMC<br />
HT250 Series Retention Testers. It<br />
incorporates the latest Alphatron ®<br />
digital test technology, and is selfcontained<br />
and portable.<br />
The tester is supplied in a protective<br />
case with calibration certificate to NIST<br />
(accuracy 0.5% full scale to 75 pounds<br />
force).<br />
Contact Gages<br />
Contact Gages are used to determine<br />
the size of a contact’s mating end (sizes<br />
12-22) which then aids in selecting the<br />
proper installation and/or removal tooling.<br />
Gage size of a contact is determined<br />
by matching a contact gage with the<br />
contact mating end and noting the size of<br />
the best fitting gage. To gage pins, start<br />
with the smallest gage and work your way<br />
up the scale; the first gage that fits over<br />
the pin is the size of that pin. To gage<br />
sockets, start with the largest gage and<br />
work your way down the scale; the first<br />
gage that fits inside the socket is the size<br />
of that socket.<br />
The gage sizes are stamped on the tool<br />
and all contact gages are color coded<br />
for correct size identification. The gage<br />
end used for measuring socket contacts<br />
is marked with an “S”. And the gage<br />
end used for measuring pin contacts is<br />
marked with a “P”.<br />
CAUTION: These tools are not to be<br />
used as a pin straightener.<br />
