The basic design of the
AMPLIVAR Terminals
encompasses two main
areas, the burrs at the top
of the serrations and the
serrations themselves.
During the crimping opera-
tion the burrs pierce the
insulation of the magnet
wire and extrude the bare
conductors into the serra-
tions—creating intimate
metal contact.
In a one-step operation the
magnet wire is automatically
multiple ring stripped of its
insulation as it is forced into
the serrations during the
precisely controlled crimp.
The resulting termination
produces a high tensile
strength, air sealed connec-
tion that is as resistant to
corrosion as the insulated
conductor.
In the standard “F” crimp
design, the open barrel
consists of two wings that
are wrapped around the
conductor strands and
butted together in a tight
seam. Applied with Match-
Mated tooling, the “F” Crimp
offers the optimum combi-
nation of mechanical
strength and electrical
conductivity. This method
of termination also assures
maximum resistance to
vibration and corrosion.
The insulation support
feature was developed by
Tyco Electronics for applica-
tions where vibration tends
to be excessive. This design
offers the same fine quality
characteristics found in the
standard line plus firm, fully
circumferencial support to
the wire insulation.
The insulation piercing line
enjoys a durable popularity
with electrical circuitry man-
ufacturers because of the
simplicity of attachment.
The barrel contains two per-
pendicular lances that drive
through the wire insulation
to make contact with the
conductor within.
Tensile characteristics vary,
depending on the type of
wire insulation. Because the
barrel wraps around the
insulation, it deters insula-
tion fraying. The insulation
piercing line is a low cost,
high speed attachment suit-
able for many requirements.
In general, insulation pierc-
ing terminals can be used
where high currents, inten-
sive vibration and mechani-
cal loads are not critical
factors on both stranded
and tinsel wire.
