roduct Facts
■
Basic terminal is made of high
conductivity copper, electro
tin plated, for improved cor-
r
osion resistance.
■ Applicable wire size is
marked on the tongue.
■ Inner serrations on the
wire barrel gives maximum
electrical contact and tensile
strength with the conductor.
■ Copper sleeve provides
circum-ferential insulation
support to the wire and
allows the wire to be bent
in any direction without
damaging the wire insulation
or conductors.
■ Insulation sleeves and
corresponding tooling are
color-coded by wire size for
easier identification.
■ AMP PIDG Terminals and
Splices meet the require-
ments of MIL-T-7928.
■ A variety of PIDG terminals
and splices are UL listed
File E 13288 and certified
by CSA File LR 7189.

PIDG pre-insulated Diamond
Grip Terminals and Splices are
designed for complete and
uniform reliability. The pre-
insulated termination ensures
a vibration safe connection of
maximum conductivity, and its
tensile strength approaches
that of the wire itself.
Each PIDG terminal consists
of a tin plated copper body,
with a specially designed
copper sleeve and insulation
sleeve fitted over the terminal
barrel.
The carefully engineered
application tooling has been
designed for the PIDG pro-
gram to ensure high quality
terminations time after time.
Terminal and insulation sleeve
are crimped simultaneously
resulting in an excellent tensile
strength and vibration resist-
ance.
During crimping dot code is
applied to the insulation sleeve,
to confirm the use of the
correct tooling.
N
ylon Insulation.
Nylon sleeve for high dielectric strength.
In order to obtain the best
termination results it is impor-
tant to select the correct tool.
Each terminal is matched to a
compatible tool. CERTI-CRIMP
hand tools are provided with
a patented ratched device to
ensure the crimp cycle is
completed before releasing.
There is a CERTI-CRIMP tool
available for each terminal
range.

nsulation Sleeve.
Expanded sleeve, accepts
wide range of wire insulation.
