The geometry requirements (parameters) for a hub and socket connector are listed below. The specification used in this example is “ASTM A 47”.
When creating a hub or a socket connector, both are handled in the same way during connector creation. However, there are many kinds of specifications for a 'hub' depending on the different materials available. The primary dimensions to determine are "Extension", "Body thickness" and "Body Length".
| Parameter (Dimension) | Value |
| Diameter | Should be set according to catalog. |
| Extension |
= Body length (Y) |
| Snap Offset | = -2*Extension |
| Body Thickness |
When set to "Yes" =Width of band (A+2S) When set to a "No" = Thickness of Hub (S) |
| Body Length | = Body Length ( Y ) |
| Body Set Back | = 0 |
| Swage Set Back | = 0 |
| Swage Length | = 0 |
