Tyco Electronics open bar-
rel rings and spades are
manufactured in strip form
and supplied on reels for
Automachine termination. In
the standard “F” crimp con-
figuration, the open barrel
consists of two “U” shaped
wings that are crimped
around the conductor
strands and butted together
into a tight seam. The
crimping action of the
Tyco Electronics application
equipment is a precise
operation that creates the
proper crimp with each
cycle of the machine. This
ensures uniformity of all the
crimp terminations.
The insulation support was a
Tyco Electronics developed
feature for applications
where vibration tends to be
excessive. The insulation
support consists of two
additional “U” shaped
wings which are wrapped
around the wire insulation.
This prevents harmful flex-
ing of the wire at the termi-
nation point where the wire
is rigidly crimped to the wire
barrel and deters fraying of
the insulation. Because it
increases the already signif-
icant tensile strength of
the conductor crimp, the
vibration resistance is
great enough for more
severe applications.
Tyco Electronics Open
Barrel Rings and Spades
are designed for wire sizes
ranging from 28 AWG to
6 AWG. They come in a
variety of stud sizes. These
terminals are made from a
variety of base materials
and platings depending on
your application (i.e. ambi-
ent temperature, humidity,
and chemical exposure).
To help you choose the
Tyco Electronics product
best suited to your require-
ments, the following infor-
mation about each terminal
is shown in tabular form:
wire size range, insulation
diameter, stud size, stock
thickness, type of base
material, plating and
physical dimensions.
Tyco Electronics has stan-
dardized the product listed
in this catalog section. If you
do not see a terminal to fit
your application, please con-
tact your Tyco Electronics
Sales Engineer.
Open Barrel Insulation
Piercing Terminals
The insulation piercing line
of terminals enjoys popular-
ity because of the simplicity
of termination. The barrel
contains two perpendicular
lances that are driven
through the wire insulation
to make contact with the
conductor. Consequently,
wire stripping is eliminated
and a one step circuitry ter-
mination is accomplished.
Tensile characteristics vary,
depending on the type of
wire insulation. Since the
barrel wraps around the
insulation, it deters insula-
tion fraying. The insulation
piercing line is a low-cost,
high-speed termination, suit-
able for many applications.
In general, insulation
piercing terminals can be
used on both stranded and
tinsel wire, where high
currents, intense vibration
and mechanical loads are
not critical factors.
