Product Facts
s
Nylon Insulation.
Nylon
sleeve has high dielectric
strength.
Basic Terminal Material.
The basic terminal
is constructed of fine grade high conductivity
copper per ASTM B-152 and tin-plated per
ASTM B-545. Basic material for Spring
Spade Tongue Terminals is phosphor
bronze per ASTM B-139 and tin-plated per
ASTM B-545. AMP’s special plating process
creates durable corrosion resistance to salt
spray and most chemical fumes.
s
s
Pre-insulated terminal
designed for uniform relia-
bility in most difficult cir -
cuit environments
PIDG Terminals consist of
tin plated copper or tin
plated phosphor bronze
body for spring spades with
a copper sleeve and insula-
tion sleeve fitted over ter -
minal barrel
Design of the tool dies and
construction of the terminal
allows for uniform insula-
tion thickness under crimp-
ing pressure, transmitting
this pressure evenly to the
center of the crimp area
Color Coding.
Terminal insulation is
color-coded by wire range to prevent
errors during installation.
The AMP Mated
Tool/Terminal Concept
s
s
s
s
AMP compression crimping
produces crimps for a given
size wire and terminal that
are alike in appearance and
performance
Terminal and crimping tool
are designed as uniform
matched devices
Dies are precision-
engineered from the finest
hard-metal alloys
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
Serrations.
Serrations inside
barrel provide maxi-
mum contact and
tensile strength after
crimping.
Copper Sleeve.
The specially
designed copper sleeve, fitted over the
terminal barrel, provides circumferen-
tial insulation support to the wire and
allows the wire to be bent in any direc-
tion, without fraying the wire’s insula -
tion or breaking the conductor.
Funnel Ramp Entry.
Prevents a turned
back strand and permits rapid wire inser-
tion during high speed production.
Temperature Rating: 105°C Max.
