Sta-Kon s Long Barrel Design

Transcription

1 Terminals Why Sta-Kon Terminals Are Better Like any other value added manufacturing process, using the best material is only a start. Our Sta- Kon terminals are all manufactured with the customer in mind, not a price tag! The following product features are usually absent in competitive products. Chamfered/Funneled Terminal Barrel Entry This feature makes wire insertion faster and easier. Chamfering eliminates wire strand hang up and departure upon insertion into the terminal s barrel. The loss of even a couple of wire strands can have negative results on electrical efficiency and resistance to mechanical strain. Deep Internal Serrations After the insertion of a wire into the terminal s barrel, a deep serrated interior insures a large area of contact which lowers the resistance of a connection. Upon the mechanical force of tool applied pressure, the wire strands cold flow into the serrated interior. This guarantees electrical resistance lower than the wire to which it is applied. This feature also prevents pullout from vibration and mechanical strain. Deep internal serrations can be compared to the effective holding power of a well treaded tire on a wet highway. Sta-Kon s Long Barrel Design If lowering electrical resistance, preventing wire pullout, eliminating a missed crimp and an insulator that stays on the barrel during installation are your goals, then, you must design a terminal with a long barrel. The fact is that most competitive barrel lengths range from 20%-50% shorter than the Sta-Kon. The results are usually a stream of electrical failure, rework and added expense. This also provides the insulator with additional surface area, holding tight to the barrel. Many competitive insulators come off during crimping due to a limited barrel length. Platings/Finish Electroplated-Tin is standard. All others require minimum order quantities and are generally not stocked. Alternative platings as follows: Gold, Silver, Tin-alloys, Finish Suffix Spec. Nickel, etc. The following finishes are available on most 1-piece Sta-Kon terminals: Gold Plate GP MIL-G Type II, Grade B, C, D, Class O Nickel Plate NP QQ-N-290 Class 2, Grade G Plain Finish PF None Silver Plate SP MIL-T Type I or II, 400 F, 204 C Tin Plate TP MIL-T Type I To order add the indicated suffix to the regular catalog number. 75

2 Terminals Why Sta-Kon Terminals Are Better continued Anti-Rotational Tongues This is a unique feature to the Thomas & Betts ring tongue terminal. This design prevents terminal shorting by keeping the terminal secure in the terminal block. The installer can place a greater number of terminals, closer together without worry. Brazed or Overlapped Seam A long barrel design is of little value unless it is one solid piece. That is why Thomas & Betts brazes the seam on our vinyl insulated Sta-Kon and overlaps the seam on nylon insulated terminals. Many competitive terminals have butted seams. This means increased chances for wirestrand loss, poor resistance, wire pullout and electrical failure. If the installer doesn t position the tool exactly on the correct spot on the barrel, there s likely going to be an improper termination. The butted seam can also fold due to tool-applied pressure piercing the terminals insulation from the inside out. With a brazed or overlapped seam the installer can crimp anywhere along the barrel s surface providing up to times the tensile strength of a butted seam terminal, guaranteeing proper electrical flow, void free. Selective Annealing Because of the mechanical strength of copper, an installer can experience fatigue associated with repeated installations. For this reason Thomas & Betts puts our terminals through one more step called selective annealing. This process leaves the barrel soft enough to crimp and form around the wire. However, we cold form the tongue during the manufacturing process so it remains strong. This is done so the tongue can withstand repeated bends and bolt tightening strain common in most electrical installations. Many competitors attempt to accomplish similar goals by removing valuable material or using a softer copper which has lower conductivity. This increases electrical resistance as well as the odds for shorting and downtime. 76

3 Terminals Thomas & Betts developed the first tool-applied solderless terminals and connectors nearly 50 years ago in response to industry awareness of the need for better performance of electrical systems. Today, sophisticated electrical and electronic equipment requires an even higher degree of reliability. Here are key factors built into the Sta-Kon terminal and connector line that deliver this reliability: Broad product selection Job suited tooling Testing and approvals Field proven performance New product development Service and availability Sta-Kon Technical Data center reinforced spring detent for minimum insertion force complete identification flat bottom box brazed seam electro tin plate compound spring rails provide positive contact after repeated insertions & selectively annealed long barrel color-coded TEFZEL*, Nylon, or Vinyl vinyl brazed seam, or NYLON/TEFZEL* insulated grip sleeve strands enter as a homogeneous group and compact tightly under compression due to fully brazed seam serrated inner barrel for maximum contact & tensile strength funneled wire entrance extra-length insulation sleeve crimp produces even compression forces on insulation and stranding complete wire & stud size identification anti-rotational tongue hardened tongue Terminals & Splices U.L. 94 Insulation Rating Flammability Voltage Temperature Nylon V-2 600V** 105 C Vinyl V-0 600V** 105 C TEFZEL* V-0 600V** 150 C **1000V fixture or sign Disconnects 300V 105 C Sta-Kon Disconnects Internal barrel serrations and long barrel provide for maximum tensile strength Complete line of installing tools, engineered to match tool with terminal Funnel entry insulators allow for easier inserting of wire into barrel Color-coded for easy installation Sta-Kon Ring, fork & locking fork Complete line of installing tools engineered to match tool with terminal First to gain military approval for pressure connections many styles available for military applications Sta-Kon products exceed test specification requirements of military, U.L. and CSA TEFZEL* & Nylon Terminals provided with extra metal sleeve to grip insulation Vinyl insulated and bare Sta-Kons feature brazed seam wire barrels which can be crimped at any place on the barrel circumference ERG-2001 The Shure Stake tools are matched to terminals The Shure Stake mechanism prevents the dies from releasing the terminal until the proper compression has been completed. With this method, an operator achieves a reliable crimp everytime. 77

See page 44D for wire strippers. The proper installation of terminals, splices and connectors is very important to the efficient performance of an electrical system. The properly installed connector will allow good conductivity through the termination. A poor termination results in a high resistance connection. A poor connector installation may cause damage or failure of an entire system. Certain basic requirements must be met to make a good termination. 1. Before the connector or terminal is installed on the conductor, follow these recommended practices: Strip the insulation carefully so as to avoid nicking or cutting conductor strands Strip the insulation to the proper length so that the conductors can be inserted fully into the connector barrel; the wire/cable should be visible in the inspection hole of the lug; the proper strip length can be found on page 49D. 2. Thomas & Betts wire strippers will help eliminate these problems properly gaging and measuring Wire Pullout Tension Test Thomas & Betts terminals show consistently higher wire retention forces than those required by NEMA specification. 78
