HARRISBURG, Pa., August 26- Tyco Electronics today introduced the Ultra-Pod .250 Series FASTON Tab.

Post-insulation processes are not necessary when using this product. The fold-over tab design permits reliable terminations with longer applicator tool life and consistent strand capture due to a more accommodating wire barrel. This product is suitable for quick-connect and power I/O
applications in major appliances, HVAC equipment, power supplies, generators, off-highway vehicles & equipment, buses, trucks and power lawn & garden equipment.
