Overview Crimp, Disconnects, and Splices Thomas & Betts is pleased to introduce crimp terminals, disconnects, and splices. Ideal for OE applications, the line can be used anywhere a high number of terminations are required every day, such as the wiring harness, panelboard, telecommunications, and automotive industries. The terminal offering includes: A broad selection of bulk-packaged loose piece terminals in non-insulated and insulated varieties, including male and female disconnects, rings, forks, pins, blades, butt splices, wire joints and bullet connectors. on mylar tape for automated applications, including the new KT-2500 power tool for frequent, repeated crimps. The ERG-2500 ergonomic hand tool, which crimps all sizes of insulated barrel-style wire termination products.

Features and Benefits of Internal barrel serrations During crimping, the wire will cold flow into serrations, giving lower resistance connections and improving tensile strength. Size marking Wire range is stamped on the tongue (metric and English) for easy access to the terminal size without drawings/packaging. Electro tin plating Provides excellent corrosion resistance, superior finish for better-looking installation. Ergonomic hand tool Ergonomically designed ERG-2500 completes a UL listed crimp while requiring substantially lower handle forces. One tool for all insulated products Thomas & Betts offers a single tool that crimps the entire range of standard insulated terminals, disconnects, and butt splices. any competitors require 2 to 4 tools to cover the same range. Color coding Insulators are color coded for specific wire size (red=22-16awg, blue=16-14awg, yellow=12-10awg). Red=8AWG, blue=6awg. Electro tin plating Size marking Sleeved barrel etal insulation sleeve Nylon Insulated Sleeved barrel Ensures barrel does not separate during crimping. olded insulators olded insulators ensure consistent shape and quality, shaped entry speeds installation and reduces wire hang up. etal insulation sleeve Sleeve crimps wire insulation, providing high-vibration resistance and conductor strain relief.
