• Certifications: UL Listed and CSA Certified where appropriate
• Key Features: Easy installation, reliable performance, variety of types/sizes/materials, temperature and weather resistance.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Insulation Grip: Provides a "second" crimp on wire insulation for additional strain relief, ideal for high vibration applications.
• Funnel Barrel Construction: Ensures positive, easy wire insertion, prevents strand hang-ups, and eliminates the need for wire twisting.
• One-Piece Construction: Burr-free design for maximum electrical conductivity; electrical bright-tin plating for corrosion resistance; annealing to relieve stress points and ensure maximum installed strength.
• Barrel-to-Pad Transition: Minimizes flexing and bending.
• Open-End Design: Allows visual inspection of wire location before and after crimping.
• Wire Retention: Multiple "V" grooves in #264 AWG parts provide excellent holding power.
• Insulation Quality: Injection-molded, 221F (105C) rated, tough, resistant electrical grade materials for consistent reliability.
• Crimp Ridge: Ensures positive tool location on the terminal barrel, reducing miscrimps.
• Non-Slip Ridge: Aids in tool positioning for proper crimping and better workmanship.
• Beveled Leading Edge: Facilitates easy wire insulation entry.
