5.3.5 Machined Contacts CMA Buildup Slide S5-52 Instructor Activity: Review CMA buildup requirements. Continued on next page. Instructor Notes: Target - Class 1,2,3 The CMA of the conductor is built up so that it falls within the minimum and maximum CMA range of the contact. The CMA range is built up using one of the methods listed below: o The conductor is folded or bent back to achieve the correct CMA buildup. o The conductor area is increased by the use of bare (noninsulated) filler conductors as needed to achieve the correct CMA buildup. o A combination of both the foldback and the filler method are used to achieve the correct o CMA buildup. Special CMA Adapter Bushings are used when called out on the assembly documentation. (Use of these adapters will usually require special additional insulating coverage requirements.) The filler is visible at the wire entry end of the barrel. Acceptable - Class 1,2,3 The filler conductors and/or the wire conductor are visible in the inspection window of the contact. The filler conductor is of the same type conductor as the wire being crimped into the contact. (Gauge can be different as needed but the base metal and the plating, if any, needs to be the same.) Fill conductor extends beyond the contact a maximum of one wire diameter of the primary wire (red arrow). The flair or splay of any fill conductor does not extend past or exceed the contact diameter. S5-53
5.3.5 Machined Contacts CMA Buildup Defect - Class 1,2,3 Fill conductor extends beyond the contact more than 1 wire diameter of the primary wire. Fill conductor or foldback are not visible at wire entry end. Fill conductor not the same type as primary conductor. Slide S5-53 Instructor Activity: Review CMA buildup requirements. Defect - Class 1,2,3 Solid conductors used to build up the CMA. The filler conductors and/or the wire conductor are not visible in the inspection window. The flair or splay of any filler conductor used extends past or exceeds the contact diameter. Exposed conductor violates minimum electrical clearance. Instructor Notes: S5-54
