ABIKO ring, fork and pin terminals are manufactured from high grade copper and receptacles from brass or tin-bronze. All terminals are electrolytically tin plated to achieve good corrosion protection. The necks of the terminals are brazed and annealed to allow crimping in any direction around the neck. The metal in the most common receptacle necks is double folded for excellent mechanical strength and electrical conductivity.
EasyEntry
Most ABIKO insulation sleeves are of EasyEntry type which guides all the conductor strands properly into the terminal neck. The risk for back-folded strands, possibly resulting in flash-overs and reduced crimped cross section area is therefore minimised.
Insulation
ABIKO insulation sleeves are moulded in polycarbonate which has excellent deformation characteristics and maintains its vibration support up to high temperatures of well over 100° C. Caution must be taken at alkalic exposure. The colour of the insulation sleeve relates to which cross section area the terminal accepts:
|
Red sleeve |
0.5 - 1.5 mm² |
|
Blue sleeve |
1.5 - 2.5 mm² |
|
Yellow sleeve |
4 - 6 mm² |
