Product Facts

s

Pre-insulated terminal

designed for uniform relia-

bility in most difficult cir -

cuit environments

s

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

s

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

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 crimping tool

are designed as uniform

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 approach-

es that of the wire itself

s

PIDG Terminals meet or exceed

the requirements of MIL-T-

7928, Type II, Class 1 and 2

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.

Color Coding. Terminal insulation is

color-coded by wire range to prevent

errors during installation.

Serrations.

Serrations inside

barrel provide maxi-

mum contact and

tensile strength after

crimping.

Funnel Ramp Entry. Prevents a turned

back strand and permits rapid wire inser-

tion during high speed production.

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.

Temperature Rating: 105°C Max.
