PIDG Terminals and

Splices, and Pre-Insulated

Spare Wire Caps

550°F [288°C] Range

Designed for reliable perfor-

mance up to 550°F [288°C],

this line of ring-tongue

terminals, butt splices and

spare wire caps features a

pre-insulation sleeve of

TEFLON TFE insulation

material. A special funnel

entry feature has been

added to assure easy entry

and proper seating of wire.

The body is copper with a

choice of gold over nickel

plating or nickel plating.

The terminal and splice

barrel accommodates

stranded wire conductors

only. The spare wire caps

are designed for unstripped

wire.

PIDG Insulation

Restriction Terminals

550°F [288°C] Range

These pre-insulated insula-

tion restriction terminals

prevent the insulation of

thin-wall insulation wire from

entering the terminal’s wire

crimp area during the

crimping process.

Designed for reliable perfor-

mance up to 550°F [288°C],

these terminals feature a

pre-insulation sleeve of

TEFLON (TFE) insulation

material.

Uninsulated Terminals

and Splices

1200°F [649°C] Range

Nickel material is used for

the body of both the termi-

nal and splice. They are

available with or without

wire insulation support

sleeve of nickel-silver alloy

material. Accommodating

either solid or stranded con-

ductors in different combi-

nations, these terminals and

splices are made to cover a

broad wire size range, listed

in the tabular data section.

Terminals made of alumel

and chromel material with

nickel-silver alloy sleeves

are available for thermo-

couple applications. When

using either alumel or

chromel conductors, a ter-

minal of the same material

should be selected.

Because of features such

as a one-piece constructed

inner sleeve and a wide

funnel entry design which

facilitates wire entry, stan-

dard STRATO-THERM PIDG

tooling may be used to ter-

minate this product.

Post-Insulated

Terminals and Splices

550°F [288°C] Range

The temperature range of

these terminals and splices

is 550°F [288°C] for nickel

plating and gold over nickel

plated copper, and 500°F

[260°C] for silver plating,

These terminals and splices

accommodate solid and/or

stranded conductors.

Uninsulated Terminals

and Splices

650°F [343°C] Range

These terminals and splices

are available with and with-

out wire insulation support.

Both types are manufac-

tured from electrolytic cop-

per, plated with nickel. In the

insulation support type, the

support sleeve is fabricated

from nickel-silver alloy. Both

types accommodate solid or

stranded conductors in vari-

ous combinations. Wire size

range is listed in the tabular

data section.
