PIDG Terminals and
Splices, and Pre-Insulated
Spare Wire Caps
550°F [288°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.
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.
Uninsulated Terminals
and Splices
1200°F [649°C] Range
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.
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.
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
[ 2 6 0°C] for silver plating,
These terminals and splices
accommodate solid and/or
stranded conductors.
Uninsulated Terminals
and Splices
650°F [343°C] Range
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.
