Recognizing Terminal Types
Non-Insulated Butted Seam
Bare, butted seam - One piece, annealed, pure electrolytic copper construction with electro-tin
plating for corrosion resistance. Deep internal serrations promote firm wire grip for maximum
tensile strength. Maximum Temp. Rating: 75°C Maximum Voltage: 600V
Non-Insulated Brazed Seam
Bare, brazed seam - Same high quality construction as the butted seam terminals above, except it
features a brazed seam. Unique process bonds the seam to assure the maximum strength in wire
termination. This feature allows for crimping anywhere on the barrel circumference. Maximum
Temp. Rating: 75°C, Maximum Voltage: 600V
Wire & Terminal Information
High Temperature
Structural features are identical to the button seam type above. Constructed of steel with a nickel
plating. Recommended for use in ovens, motors, light fixtures and other applications where other
connectors would corrode or melt. Temperature rated for use at 482°C (900°F)
Vinyl Insulated - Funnel Entry
Injection molded vinyl with a funnel entry - High quality butted seam construction, pre-insulated
with a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) sleeve. Insulation is colour-coded to NEMA standards and flared
for easy insertion of both stranded and solid wire. PVC insulation provides support for the wire to
avoid flexing at the point of crimp. Maximum Temp. Rating: 75°C, Maximum Voltage: 600V
Nylon Insulated - Funnel Entry
3 piece nylon with support sleeve. Durable, high conductivity copper construction. Butted seam
with tin plated brass sleeve and NEMA colour-coded nylon insulation offers maximum barrel crimp
strength for the highest quality, reliable terminations. Three piece construction protects against
severe conditions, especially where extreme vibration and flexing occur.
Heat Shrink - Crimp
Moisture proof heat shrink - Long copper brazed seam barrel with clear tubing allows visual
inspection. Inner wall melts to seal connection when heat is applied. Heavy duty tubing provides
additional strain relief. Standard colour-coding indicated wire sizes. Material: Polyolefin heat
shrink tubing fabricated over brazed seam connectors. Maximum Temp. Rating: 105°C, Tensile
Strength: 220PSI, Dielectric Strength: 900V / MIL, UL Voltage Rating: 600V, Shrink Tube Specs:
MIL-1-23053/4 Class 1 AMS 3634, UL File: E157227
Heat Shrink - Solder
Heat shrink with solder - no crimp - This heat shrink tubing has an adhesive lining for a total
environmental seal preventing corrosion and galvanic action. Soldering insures that no resistance
or voltage drop occurs at the connection. The tubing and solder together provide a splice that
is mechanically and electrically stronger than the actual wire. Maximum Temp. Rating: 105°C,
Tensile Strength: 220PSI, Dielectric Strength: 900V / MIL, UL Voltage Rating: 600V, Shrink Tube
Specs: MIL-1-23053/4 Class 1 AMS 3634, UL File: E157227
Heat Shrink - Crimp & Solder
Moisture proof heat shrink crimp with solder - Features a zippered-brazed seam barrel with a
window for visual inspection. A wire stop prevents over insertion and serrated inner barrel gives
extra crimp strength. A low temperature solder-flux coating is pre-measured and coats the inner
barrel. The translucent adhesive-lined polyolefin shrink tube provides a total environmental seal
and is colour-coded and imprinted for easy wire size identification. Maximum Temp. Rating:
105°C, Tensile Strength: 220PSI, Dielectric Strength: 900V / MIL, UL Voltage Rating: 600V, Shrink
Tube Specs: MIL-1-23053/4 Class 1 AMS 3634, UL File E157227
