Note: Package quantities may vary with specific part numbers.
In the Tabular Data Section,
part numbers are available
in either loose piece or tape
mounted form.
When ordering tape mount-
ed part numbers, specify
the terminal or splice part
number, the total quantity of
parts desired (if applicable).

employ the equally reliable
confined “C” crimp plus
multiple position insulation
support crimp for today’s
smaller insulated wires. This
“C” crimp is especially suit-
ed to crimping the terminal
barrel and insulation sleeve
to stranded wire conduc-
tors. The photomacrograph
shows the results of “C”
crimping. Virtually the same
electromechanical proper-
ties are obtained as in the
“W” crimp. Pre-insulated

insulated splices are
All types, except the
STRATO-THERM PIDG ter-
minals, splices and pre-
insulated spare wire caps,
employ the famous “W”
crimp which creates the
precise electromechanical
properties necessary for
solid and/or stranded con-
ductor combinations. A
proper crimp will provide a
uniform and permanent
attachment. When mechani-
cal pressure is applied to
the terminal barrel, the wire
inside is forced into the ser-
rations or dimples of the
barrel. Shown are four typi-
cal photomacrographs of
the “W” crimp, illustrating
the results of crimping vari-
ous conductor combina-
tions. In each case, the
action of the crimp has
compressed the conductors
