Product Facts

s

Pre-insulated terminal

designed for uniformed

reliability in most difficult

circuit environment

s

Consists of an unplated or

tin-plated brass body or a

tin-plated phosphor bronze

body with a specially

designed copper sleeve

and insulation sleeve fitted

over the terminal barrel

s

Design of the tool dies and

construction of the terminal

permits uniform insulation

thickness under crimping

pressure, transmitting this

pressure evenly to the cen-

ter of the crimp area

The AMP Mated

Tool/Terminal Concept

s

AMP compression crimping

produces crimps for a given

size wire and terminal that

are alike in appearance and

performance

s

Terminal and the crimping

tool are designed as uni -

form matched devices

s

Dies are precision-

engineered from the finest

hard-metal alloys

s

Crimping pressure is con-

trolled by a ratchet device on

the hand tool or a correspond-

ing pre-calibration in the

crimping jaws of AMP auto -

mated crimping machines

The Crimp

s

When done properly,

crimping pressure can nei-

ther overstress nor under-

stress the terminal barrel —

machined dies fully bottom

to the precise crimp height

s

Resulting termination is

free of contamination

s

Resistant to shock and criti-

cal environments

s

Tensile strength approaches

that of the wire itself

Basic Terminal Material. The basic terminal

is constructed of fine grade high conductivity

brass per ASTM B-36 or phosphor bronze

per ASTM B-139. The brass terminal is either

unplated or tin-plated per ASTM B-545.

The phosphor bronze terminal is tin-plated per

ASTM B-545. AMP’s special plating process

creates durable corrosion resistance to salt

spray and most chemical fumes.

Color Coding. Terminal insulation is

color-coded by wire range to prevent

errors during installation.

Serrations. Serrations inside

barrel provide maximum contact

and tensile strength after crimping.

Funnel Ramp Entry.

Prevents a turned back strand and

rapid wire insertion during high

speed production.

Copper Sleeve. The specially

designed copper sleeve,

fitted over the terminal barrel,

provides circumferential

insulation support to the

wire and allows the wire to

be bent in any direction,

without fraying the wire’s

insulation or breaking

the conductor.

Temperature Rating: 105°C Max.
