FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS TOOLING

Can wires be combined in PIDG terminals & splices?

Yes, they can as long total CMA (Circular Mil Area) and insulation

diameter fall within specifi cation.

Are PIDG terminals MIL specified?

Yes, most of them meet or exceed MIL-T-7928, Type II, class 1 & 2.

What to choose if you need higher temperature?

Use TE STRATO-THERM terminals (catalog 82011).

Why can PIDG terminals just handle 300V and

PLASTI-GRIP terminals 600 V?

Because the additional copper sleeve is close to the end of

the sleeve (see picture).

What is the advantage of this copper sleeve?

It provides circumferential insulation support to the wire and

allows the wire to bend in any direction, without fraying the

wire’s insulation or breaking the conductor.

Why is there no crimpheight given for PIDG terminals?

It is the geometry of the TE crimping tools which ensures

the perfect crimp on PIDG terminals.

1. The conical sleeve serves for

easier conductor insertion.

2. The nylon insulating sleeve

offers high dielectric strength.

The colour coding corresponds

to the wire size.

3. Grooves inside the wire sleeve ensure

high tensile strength and current transfer.

4. The copper sleeve provides

optimal insulation support.
