![]() Additionally, because the crimp terminals are compatible with existing Molex crimp tooling, new tooling is not required. The terminals can be used with existing Mini-Fit receptacle and plug housings and with existing Mini-Fit and Mini-Fit Plus HCS headers. The terminal is available in wire-to-wire and wire-to-board configurations and comes in three wire gauge sizes: 16 AWG, 18 to 20 AWG, and 22 to 24 AWG. Their elongated dimple design provides longer length and greater contact area when compared with standard Mini-Fit terminals, yet it does not increase the design dimensions of the product. Mini-Fit Plus HMC female crimp terminals are rated for up to 1,500 mating cycles and are capable of carrying up to 13 amps per circuit. has recently introduced a new line of crimp terminals for applications that require a high number of mating cycles, such as medical devices, consumer appliances, networking and telecommunications equipment, and power supplies. Male twist lock terminals are offered in NEMA L5-15P (125 V), NEMA L6-15P (250V) and NEMA L7-15P (277 V) configurations for molded electric power cords. Featuring one crimp ear that can accommodate wire sizes from 10 to 16 AWG, they eliminate the need for tooling changes from one wire size to another. Twist lock terminals are constructed from 260 cartridge brass and accommodate several wire sizes. The ability to use both manual and automated equipment gives cord producers and harness shops a low-cost option when short runs of cord products are needed. The availability of twist lock terminals in loose piece format also allows manufacturers to cut manufacturing costs. Providing twist lock terminals in loose-piece form gives heavy cord manufacturers flexibility, enabling them to use the terminals as needed. In the past, ETCO had sold the terminals in carrier strip form only. is now producing its twist lock terminals in loose piece form. The bell mouth should be visible, and the rest of the connecting end of the terminal should be undisturbed. The insulation must not be caught in the wire crimp ears, because this will result in a poor electrical connection. The insulation crimp should surround the wire a minimum of 180 degrees without piercing the insulation. Stray wire strands are not acceptable.īoth insulation and the conductors should be visible between the insulation crimp and the conductor crimp. ![]() All wire strands must be captured in the crimp ears during termination. In a good crimp, wire strands should protrude a minimum of 0.015 inch from the end of the crimp. It acts as a funnel for the wires and reduces the possibility of a sharp edge on the barrel cutting or nicking the conductors. ![]() The undisturbed portion of the conductor barrel nearest the insulation crimp is known as the bell mouth. If done correctly, the terminal becomes an extension of the wire. We are shaping the future trends of electrification, differentiating through technological and digital innovation while delivering an outstanding experience through operational excellence for our customers across utilities, industry, buildings, infrastructure and mobility.During crimping, the applicator die presses around the conductor with enough force to deform both the wire and the barrel, creating a cold weld between the two parts and establishing gastight connection. Our 50,000+ employees are dedicated to transforming how people live, connect and work by delivering safe, smart and sustainable electrification solutions. ABB’s Electrification Business Area is a global leader in electrical products and solutions, operating in more than 100 countries, with over 200 manufacturing sites. Building on more than 130 years of excellence, ABB’s ~105,000 employees are committed to driving innovations that accelerate industrial automation. The company’s solutions connect engineering know-how and software to optimize how things are manufactured, moved, powered and operated. ![]() ABB (ABBN: SIX Swiss Ex) is a technology leader in electrification and automation, enabling a more sustainable and resource-efficient future.
