FASTON Terminals (Insulated and Uninsulated)
FASTON Terminals
The Products (Continued)
The “F” Crimp
The standard crimp on all
straight and certain flag
type FASTON terminals is
the “F” crimp. Experience
over widespread segments
of the industry has proved
this crimp the most effective
way of providing stable
electrical and mechanical
performance. Applied
with match-mated tooling,
the “F” crimp offers the
optimum combination of
mechanical strength and
electrical conductivity.
This method of termination
also provides maximum
resistance to vibration and
corrosion.
TETRA-CRIMP Terminal Crimp
This reliable crimp is used
on PIDG FASTON
receptacles. The terminals
feature nylon insulation
fitted over a copper support
sleeve. PIDG FASTON
receptacles are of the
straight variety only, and
are available in strip form
or tape mounted for high-
speed application with
automatic crimping
machines, or in loose piece
form for application with
hand tools.
In making this crimp, a tab
on the wire barrel, is inserted
through a slot in the terminal
itself. The crimping action is
continued by flattening the
tab between two lances
which in turn are locked over
the tab. The wire connection
is locked in to offer reliable
electrical and mechanical
performance. This
receptacle design includes
a lance-tab stop at its rear
to avoid over-insertion of
shoulderless tabs.
Tab-Lok Crimp for
FASTON Flag Terminals
A new style crimp with
wrap-around barrel design
with the standard, reliable
FASTON receptacle.
The special barrel design
provides a maximum
contact area and when
applied with the matched
tooling, will provide reliable
electrical and mechanical
performance at a minimum
terminal profile.
Available in the 187 series
for both .020 and .032 thick
tabs, brass or phosphorous
bronze base materials in
either plain or tin plated.
Corrugated Keystone
Barrel Serrations
This special terminal wire
barrel design provides
maximum contact area
between terminal and bare
conductor. During the
crimping process, bulk
deformation forces the
conductor into these
serration channels creating
a scrubbing action on
oxide film on the wire. The
termination is also resistant
to vibration and shock.
AMPLIVAR Terminal Crimp
This crimp is designed
for reliable, high-speed
connection of magnet wire.
The conductor(s) is
automatically multiple-ring
stripped and forced into
sharp serrations with a
single precision-controlled
solderless crimp. This
operation produces a
strong, air-tight termination
that is as resistant to
corrosion and many other
environmental effects as the
insulated conductor itself.
