PIDG (Pre-Insulated Diamond Grip)
Product Facts
s Pre-insulated terminal
designed for uniform relia-
bility in most difficult cir -
cuit environments
s PIDG Terminals consist of
tin plated copper or tin
plated phosphor bronze
body for spring spades with
a copper sleeve and insula-
tion sleeve fitted over ter -
minal barrel
s Design of the tool dies and
construction of the terminal
allows for uniform insula-
tion thickness under crimp-
ing pressure, transmitting
this pressure evenly to the
center of the crimp area
The AMP Mated
Tool/Terminal Concept
s AMP compression crimping
produces crimps for a given
size wire and terminal that
are alike in appearance and
performance
s Terminal and crimping tool
are designed as uniform
matched devices
s Dies are precision-
engineered from the finest
hard-metal alloys
s Crimping pressure is con-
trolled by a ratchet device on
the hand tool or a correspond-
ing pre-calibration in the
crimping jaws of AMP auto -
mated crimping machines
The Crimp
s When done properly,
crimping pressure can nei-
ther overstress nor under-
stress the terminal barrel —
machined dies fully bottom
to the precise crimp height
s Resulting termination is
free of contamination
s Resistant to shock and criti-
cal environments
s Tensile strength approach-
es that of the wire itself
s PIDG Terminals meet or exceed
the requirements of MIL-T-
7928, Type II, Class 1 and 2

cation, Catalog 73-159 for

Nylon Insulation. Nylon
sleeve has high dielectric
strength.
Color Coding. Terminal insulation is
color-coded by wire range to prevent
errors during installation.
Basic Terminal Material. The basic terminal
is constructed of fine grade high conductivity
copper per ASTM B-152 and tin-plated per
ASTM B-545. Basic material for Spring
Spade Tongue Terminals is phosphor
bronze per ASTM B-139 and tin-plated per
ASTM B-545. AMP’s special plating process
creates durable corrosion resistance to salt
spray and most chemical fumes.
Serrations.
Serrations inside
barrel provide maxi-
mum contact and
tensile strength after
crimping.
Temperature Rating: 105°C Max.
Copper Sleeve. The specially
designed copper sleeve, fitted over the
terminal barrel, provides circumferen-
tial insulation support to the wire and
allows the wire to be bent in any direc-
tion, without fraying the wire’s insula -
tion or breaking the conductor.
Funnel Ramp Entry. Prevents a turned
back strand and permits rapid wire inser-
tion during high speed production.
Note: Over size expansions are provided in vinyl insulation only.
