If you are looking at the terminals from Molex, you may see that some terminal exhibit inconsistency in their surface gloss within the same part, such as the VersaKrimp Series tin-plating ring terminal products.
This would be the condition called “Sheen Variation” as illustrated below.
According to Molex’s Cosmetic Specification, this condition is acceptable for Class B & Class C Surfaces in application. These classes are described as follows:
- Class B (Moderately decorative surface)
Any surface in occasional view of the end customer without moving or disassembling the unit, or
Any surface that has a minimal impact on a direct customer’s ability to process Molex’s connectors. - Class C (Non decorative surface)
Any surface not readily visible to the end customer except when unit is moved or disassembled, or
Any surface that has no impact on a direct customer’s ability to process Molex’s connectors
