STRATO-THERM
Terminals & Splices for High Temperature Applications
Catalog 82011
Revised 3-98
Introduction
PIDG Terminals and
Splices, and Pre-Insulated
Spare Wire Caps
550°F [288°C] Range
Because of features such
as a one-piece constructed
inner sleeve and a wide
funnel entry design which
facilitates wire entry, stan-
dard STRATO-THERM PIDG
tooling may be used to ter-
minate this product.
Uninsulated Terminals
and Splices
1200°F [649°C] Range
Designed for reliable perfor-
mance up to 550°F [288°C],
this line of ring-tongue
terminals, butt splices and
spare wire caps features a
pre-insulation sleeve of
TEFLON TFE insulation
material. A special funnel
entry feature has been
added to assure easy entry
and proper seating of wire.
The body is copper with a
choice of gold over nickel
plating or nickel plating.
The terminal and splice
barrel accommodates
stranded wire conductors
only. The spare wire caps
are designed for unstripped
wire.
Post-Insulated
Terminals and Splices
550°F [288°C] Range
The temperature range of
these terminals and splices
is 550°F [288°C] for nickel
plating and gold over nickel
plated copper, and 500°F
[260°C] for silver plating,
These terminals and splices
accommodate solid and/or
stranded conductors.
Nickel material is used for
the body of both the termi-
nal and splice. They are
available with or without
wire insulation support
sleeve of nickel-silver alloy
material. Accommodating
either solid or stranded con-
ductors in different combi-
nations, these terminals and
splices are made to cover a
broad wire size range, listed
in the tabular data section.
Terminals made of alumel
and chromel material with
nickel-silver alloy sleeves
are available for thermo-
couple applications. When
using either alumel or
chromel conductors, a ter-
minal of the same material
should be selected.
Uninsulated Terminals
and Splices
650°F [343°C] Range
PIDG Insulation
Restriction Terminals
550°F [288°C] Range
These pre-insulated insula-
tion restriction terminals
prevent the insulation of
thin-wall insulation wire from
entering the terminal’s wire
crimp area during the
crimping process.
Designed for reliable perfor-
mance up to 550°F [288°C],
these terminals feature a
pre-insulation sleeve of
TEFLON (TFE) insulation
material.
These terminals and splices
are available with and with-
out wire insulation support.
Both types are manufac-
tured from electrolytic cop-
per, plated with nickel. In the
insulation support type, the
support sleeve is fabricated
from nickel-silver alloy. Both
types accommodate solid or
stranded conductors in vari-
ous combinations. Wire size
range is listed in the tabular
data section.

Ordering Information
All terminals and splices are
listed according to wire size
and type of terminal or
splice. If the part number of
the terminal or splice is
known, refer to the
Numerical Index, at the
back of this catalog, for
page location of tabular
data.
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).
The chart to the right lists
by wire size the type of
packaging available and
the quantity per package.

The Crimp
All five types of
STRATO-THERM terminals
and splices provide opti-
mum corrosion and vibration
resistance plus outstanding
tensile characteristics.
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
and the barrel into a
homogenous mass.
“W” Crimp
One Solid

Two Stranded
STRATO-THERM PIDG
terminals and splices
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
spare wire caps and post-
insulated splices are
crimped with an “O” crimp
configuration.
