Technical Features
Material and Finishes
Generally, the various materials and
finishes available for Tyco Electronics
FASTON products should be chosen
according to the operating tempera-
ture. The corrosion factor is also
important. Final contact selection
should consider the application and
the wire size range.
Brass, phosphor bronze and steel are
the normal materials for Tyco
Electronics FASTON Terminals.
Various finishes are available.*
Test Specifications
All Tyco Electronics FASTON
products are rigorously and
extensively tested in our testing
laboratories. The testing is done
under the hardest application
conditions and meet all the require-
ments set for each individual
product, in some cases even
exceeding these requirements.
Temperature Rise and Millivolt
Drop
The temperature rise and millivolt
drop characteristics are the lowest in
the industry. They exceed all safety
requirements and exhibit extreme
stability during extended time tests.
Resistance to Oxidation and
Corrosion
Intimate contact between the inner
barrel walls and conductor surfaces
become an almost homogeneous
mass when subjected to the control-
led dimensions of the matched
crimping tool, resulting in inhibition
of corrosion and oxidation. Long lift
operation with low temperature and
low millivolt drop is further assured
by the quality of plating used on the
terminal itself.
Tensile Strength
Normally the tensile strength is 70%
to 100% greater than the force
required to disconnect the tab from
the receptacles. Therefore this
satisfies most safety requirements.
Vibration Resistance
The insulation support of Tyco
Electronics FASTON contacts fully
insures reliable vibration resistance
in the crimp area.
