SOLISTRAND and Budget
terminals and splices are
specially designed to termi-
nate solid and stranded
wire, irregular shaped con-
ductors, and combinations
of these — retaining the
superior performance char-
acteristics of single-purpose
terminals and splices.
Corrosion resistance, vibra-
tion resistance and tensile
strength of these terminals
and splices are well within
the limits of commercial and
military specifications.
The Budget terminal is
primarily the same as the
SOLISTRAND terminals
without the brazed seam
in the wire barrel. These
terminals and splices fulfill
the need for an economical
and electrically superior ter-
mination where extreme
vibration and tension on the
wires are not present.
DIAMOND GRIP utilizes a
tin plated copper insulation
support sleeve with “V”
notches. The sleeve elimi-
nates fraying of the insula-
tion or breaking of the con-
ductor. The “V” notches
lock the wire insulation
against vibration and
pullout.

How to Compute Circular Mil Area of Various Wire Shapes
Square or Rectangular Wire
U.S. Customary Dimensions
Multiply the width of the wire cross section
in mils by the thickness of the wire cross
section in mils by 1.2732 and subtract the
radius factor shown below.
CMA = W x T x 1.2732 – radius factor
Metric Dimensions
Multiply the width of the wire cross section in
millimetres by the thickness of the wire cross
section in millimetres by 1973.525 and sub-
tract the radius factor shown below.
CMA = W x T x 1973.525 – radius factor
Round Solid Wire AWG
Multiply the diameter in mils by itself.
CMA = D

Multiply the diameter in milllimetres by itself
by 1550.003
CMA = D

Stranded Wire AWG
Multiply the diameter of one strand (in mils)
by itself, and then multiply the result by the
total number of strands.
CMA = D

Multiply the diameter of one strand in mil-
limetres by itself by the number of strands

Computing Circular
Mil Area
For best results, the proper
AMP terminal or splice must be
selected not by the “fit” of wire or
wires in the terminal barrel, but
by the total circular mil area in
cross section of the wires used.
For this purpose AMP has pre-
pared convenient tables to assist
in the calculation of circular mil
areas. When the totals are
known, the proper AMP terminal
or splice can be determined
quickly.
Unusual combinations or special
applications should be submitted
to AMP engineering department
for size recommendation. In any
application, the careful selection
of terminals by the circular mil
area method will insure the high-
est possible performance, both
electrically and mechanically, in
your AMP terminations.
Example of multiple wire
configurations used in one
termination
ALWAYS SELECT TERMINALS
BY THE CIRCULAR MIL AREA
METHOD. For example, a No.
18 AWG 16-strand conductor
(1600 CMA) and a No. 16 AWG
19-strand conductor (2426
CMA) will have a combined total
of 4026 CMA. This total CMA is
equivalent to a No. 14 AWG
conductor.
