hooked blade terminals
‘KY’ type terminals are designed to offer improved mechanical and electrical integrity under heavy-duty application.
This is achieved via a Copper sleeve located between the Copper barrel and Polyamide insulation of the terminal.
Then, during crimping, the insulation of the conductor is integrated into the crimp due to the Copper sleeve being deformed around it to maintain the level of ‘grip’ required in applications subject to continuous mechanical vibrations (e.g: mobile plant, vehicles, moving components).
Technical details
“KY” type terminals are manufactured from electrolytic Copper Cu-ETP CWOO4A according to
UNI EN 13599 and are tin plated to a minimum thickness of 3m.
Main characteristics of the PA6.6 sleeve:
-
DIELECTRIC STRENGTH (kV/mm) : >16,5
-
VOLUME RESISTIVITY (Ω/cm) : >1013
-
MAX OPERATING TEMPERATURE (°C) : 105
-
FLAMMABILITY’ (UL-94) : V-2
-
DENSITY (g/cm3) : 1,14
-
WATER ABSORPTION (%) : 1,5
-
BREAKING LOAD (N/mm2) : 77
“KY” type terminals can be stored at a minimum temperature not below - 40°C.
