Three New Ways to Eliminate Costly Insulation of Electrical Terminals



HARRISBURG, Pa., January 30 - Tyco Electronics today introduced the Ultra-Fast .205 series fully-insulated FASTON Receptacle. This new product is available in three configurations for .205 sized tabs. The straight receptacle is available in versions that connect to .020 thickness tabs and .032 thickness tabs. A flag version connects with .032 thickness tabs. The product is fully-insulated so it is not necessary to implement costly post-insulation processes. Ultra-Fast .205 series FASTON receptacles are used in dishwashers, clothes washers and dryers, refrigeration equipment, ranges, and other household appliances. Additionally, these quick connects are especially suitable for lawn and garden equipment, HVAC units, vending machines, various automotive applications and home entertainment systems.

Fully-insulated Ultra-Fast .205 series FASTON receptacles allow designers to more tightly package tabs and lessen their concern over electrical shorts between contacts. This product is rated for 600V, accepts 18-22 AWG stranded wire and meets UL 310 requirements. It is also UL qualified for wire doubling of 20 and 22 AWG wire. The Ultra-Fast .205 series FASTON receptacle not only has important engineering features, but also is economical to terminate. Manufacturers may use the AMP-O-LECTRIC Model G Press or the AMP-O-LECTRIC Model K Press in addition to the Entry Level Terminator for high-speed, semiautomatic product termination. Special applicators are not necessary because this product uses the same applicator as the existing Ultra-Fast .250 FASTON receptacle product line.

The insulation is nylon with tin plated brass for the contact.

Pricing, in strip form at the 8000 quantity level is $.086 per piece in the straight configuration and $.14 in the flag. Delivery is generally two weeks.
