DIAMOND GRIP Terminal
The DIAMOND GRIP product line of ter-
minals and splices is designed for com-
pletely uniform reliability under the most
critical conditions of vibration, thermal
shock, corrosion, tension and current
overload. AMP’s mated tool/terminal
concept represents a total approach to
wire termination and takes into account
all the factors of circuit termination.
The uniformity of appearance of AMP
terminations is repeated by their unifor-
mity in performance — made possible
by designing the terminal and the tool-
ing to match precisely. This promotes
fast and easy crimping and assures pre-
cise crimping pressure for every wire
size, regardless of the skill of the opera-
tor. The result is the best circuit termina-
tion at the lowest applied cost. And this
is true for all terminations from first to
last, week after week, month after month.
COPPER SLEEVE.
The specially
designed copper sleeve, fitted
over the terminal barrel, provides
circumferential insulation support
to the wire and allows the wire to
be bent in any direction, without
fraying the wire’s insulation or
breaking the conductor.
SERRATIONS.
Serrations inside
the barrel provide maximum contact
and tensile strength after crimping.
BELL MOUTH.
Assures
easy wire insertion.
The Crimp
After the wire is inserted into the barrel,
the matching dies in the AMP tool close
over the barrel, exerting great pressure.
This causes the wire strands to flow into
the serrations of the terminal barrel as it
is compressed around them, forming a
homogenous mass of the strands and
terminal barrel. This maximum contact
assures optimum conductivity of the
termination.
BASIC TERMINAL MATERIAL.
The basic terminal is constructed of
fine grade high conductivity copper
per ASTM B-152 and tin-plated per
MIL-T-10727. AMP’s special plating
process creates durable corrosion
resistance to salt spray and most
chemical fumes.
“V” NOTCHES.
These
lock the wire insulation
against vibration and
pullout.
Temperature Rating: 170°C Max.
