AMPOWER Terminals and Splices Catalog 82052
Revised 05-95
Features
1. Versatility
Stranded wires, crimped
with the DYNA-CRIMP tool,
become almost a homoge-
neous mass with the
AMPOWER terminal or
splice barrel.
Long barrel terminals and
splices are offered for
applications where space
limitations and accessibility
make it difficult to locate the
proper crimp area.
Complementing this versa-
tility is the stud hole style
available with AMPOWER
terminals. They are sup-
plied with one, two or with-
out stud holes for special
requirements, or they can
be ordered with extra long
tongues at a slightly higher
cost.
2. Strength
AMPOWER terminals have
formidable strength and
resistance to vibration suit-
able for their intended use.
This strength comes from
the double-thick tongue and
short transfer section of the
barrel, and is achieved with-
out sacrificing any current
carrying capacity. In addi-
tion, great tensile strength is
imparted to the AMPOWER
terminals and splices by
means of AMP’s formulated
“C” crimp-tensile strength
approaches the strength of
the conductors.
3. Economy
An important part of all AMP
products is low installed
cost. This is a result of the
tool and terminal team, the
elimination of clutter found
in other methods, plus the
speed and ease of applica-
tion. And AMP’s matching
tooling creates the correct
crimp. As a result, you save
money every time an
AMPOWER product is
installed.
4. Conductivity, Corrosion
Resistance and
Temperature Rise
The center of the AMP ter-
mination method is the
exactly controlled “C” crimp
that forms the terminal or
splice barrel into an almost
homogeneous unit. As a
result, conductivity is maxi-
mized and tensile strength
approaches that of the wire.
Proper compression crimp-
ing brings the terminal into
intimate contact with the
conductor, producing
excellent resistance to cor-
rosion. Tests of temperature
rise above ambient also
confirm the excellent perfor-
mance of AMPOWER termi-
nals and splices.
5. Positive Inspection
Standard AMPOWER termi-
nals and splices are sup-
plied with inspection slots in
the barrel, allowing the tool
operator or inspector to
determine at a glance
whether the conductors
have been fully and prop-
erly inserted into the barrel.
This can be done either
before or after crimping.
Wire stops prevent over
insertion of conductors, and
bell mouth construction
makes it easy to insert con-
ductors into the barrel.
6. Broad Wire Size Range
Covering wire sizes from
6 AWG to 1000 MCM
[13 to 507 mm2] — for termi-
nals and up to 1500
[760 mm2] for splices.
AMPOWER terminals and
splices provide reliability
and low cost installation for
power equipment using
large cable sizes.
