1. INTRODUCTION
This specification covers the requirements for application of PLASTI--GRIP terminals and splices for
commercial applications. The terminals and splices consist of precision formed metal wire barrel insulated with
vinyl with a maximum operating temperature of 90_C [194_F] for the splices and 105_C [221_F] for the
terminals. The ring tongue terminals and butt splices are also available insulated with PVF
2
(polyvinylidene
fluoride); these terminals and splices can withstand a temperature range of --65 to 150_C [149 to 302_F]. The
terminals are also available in heavy duty (HD) for extra mechanical strength. The terminals and splices accept
solid or stranded wire for single applications. The flared end of the insulation allows insertion of wires that meet
maximum voltage ratings: 600 V for building wiring and 1,000 V for fixture and sign wiring.
The terminals and splices are color coded to provide a visual reference applicable to the wire size range
suitable for the terminal or splice. In addition, terminals are marked on the tongue with the wire size range. The
serrations or dimples inside the wire barrel provide maximum contact and tensile strength after crimping. The
terminals suitable for mounting accept stud sizes M2 [2] through M12 [.50] (a diameter range of 2.18 through
12.7 [.086 through .500]). The terminals and splices are available in loose--piece for terminating with manual
and pneumatically--powered hand--held tools, and in tape--mounted form for terminating with semi--automatic
hand--held tools and electrically--powered machines.
When corresponding with personnel, use the terminology provided in this specification to facilitate your
inquiries for information. Basic terms and features of this product are provided in Figure 1.
