All terminals and splices are

listed according to wire size

and type of terminal or

splice. If the part number of

the terminal or splice is

known, refer to the

Numerical Index, at the

back of this catalog, for

page location of tabular

data.

In the Tabular Data Section,

part numbers are available

in either loose piece or tape

mounted form.

When ordering tape mount-

ed part numbers, specify

the terminal or splice part

number, the total quantity of

parts desired (if applicable).

The chart to the right lists

by wire size the type of

packaging available and

the quantity per package.

All five types of

STRATO-THERM terminals

and splices provide opti-

mum corrosion and vibration

resistance plus outstanding

tensile characteristics.

All types, except the

STRATO-THERM PIDG ter-

minals, splices and pre-

insulated spare wire caps,

employ the famous “W”

crimp which creates the

precise electromechanical

properties necessary for

solid and/or stranded con-

ductor combinations. A

proper crimp will provide a

uniform and permanent

attachment. When mechani-

cal pressure is applied to

the terminal barrel, the wire

inside is forced into the ser-

rations or dimples of the

barrel. Shown are four typi-

cal photomacrographs of

the “W” crimp, illustrating

the results of crimping vari-

ous conductor combina-

tions. In each case, the

action of the crimp has

compressed the conductors

and the barrel into a

homogenous mass.

The Crimp

STRATO-THERM PIDG

terminals and splices

employ the equally reliable

confined “C” crimp plus

multiple position insulation

support crimp for today’s

smaller insulated wires. This

“C” crimp is especially suit-

ed to crimping the terminal

barrel and insulation sleeve

to stranded wire conduc-

tors. The photomacrograph

shows the results of “C”

crimping. Virtually the same

electromechanical proper-

ties are obtained as in the

“W” crimp. Pre-insulated

spare wire caps and post-

insulated splices are

crimped with an “O” crimp

configuration.
