Crimp terminals
Gas-proof and the miniaturized contact technology are
synonymous with crimp technology. The flexible conductor
is inserted into the crimp contact and is retained by
controlled deformation. This technology is similar to a cold
welding process and provides maximum aging resistance
and mechanical resistance to shock and vibration. Crimp
machines facilitate the efficient, streamlined production of
system cable assemblies, and crimp technology can also
be deployed for field assemblies using the corresponding
hand crimp tools. The technical requirements for crimp
technology are standardized in IEC 60 352-2.
IDC insulation displacement terminals
IDC (insulation displacement contact) technology facilitates
the simple and safe termination of solid and flexible
conductors. With IDC technology, a blade cuts through the
wire insulation and produces an elastic termination in a
single pass. This gas-proof connection provides maximum
safety even for the lowest currents and voltages. Technical
requirements for IDC technology are standardized in
IEC 60 352-3.
Solder lug terminals
The solder lug termination is the optimized solution
for production of small lot sizes and prototypes. Even
without any special tooling a big variety of cables can be
terminated to the cable connectors. The stripped wire
is soldered individually by hand to the solder lug. This
termination should however only be manufactured by
experienced specialists.
Faston blades terminals
The faston blade termination is used for free wiring.
Benefits are the high current carrying capacity (up to 15 A)
and the easy possibility for variations.
Cage clamp terminals
The cage clamp terminal technology is used to terminate
flexible and solid conductors by means of spring force.
After the spring has been opened by an actuator element,
the stripped conductor is simply inserted into the contact
chamber. This connection technology requires minimum
operating expense and is characterized by its high
functional safety. The springloaded connection also allows
the termination of more than one wire per contact and
excels with high vibration and shock resistance.
