TE Connectivity Standard FASTON Terminal Line

TE Connectivity’s (TE) FASTON products have been the industry leader in the appliance and automotive industries for years. TE continues to reinvent the FASTON product line to meet the changing trends in these and other industries. We have seen the need for lower insertion forces, higher performance and higher temperature ratings within the FASTON product family, so TE is proud to introduce several new products specifically designed to meet these requirements. These new products come with the same strong engineering support and high quality that TE has provided for over 60 years

The new Standard line of FASTON terminals includes high temperature nickel plated steel receptacles and tin plated brass receptacles utilizing our F-Crimp, Tab-Lok and the new 2D crimp technology. The Standard line of FASTON receptacles is easily identifiable by the dogbone shaped front end of the receptacle allowing the mating tab to mate on a rolled edge instead of a sheared edge for reduced insertion force. The new Standard tin plated brass receptacles are UL rated to 125°C versus our legacy tin plated brass FASTON receptacles rated at only 110°C. Finally, our Standard tin plated brass receptacles are performance tested on the 6th mating cycle instead of the 1st mating cycle, to allow for disconnection and reconnection during service calls without needing to replace the receptacles. All Standard line FASTON receptacles are backward compatible with our existing FASTON housings. Our Standard line 2D crimp FASTON receptacles will allow customers to standardize on four receptacles to cover their full wire range allowing them to replace hundreds of other receptacles, potentially giving them better productivity and pricing while reducing change-overs. Fewer receptacles require less application tooling and improves inventory handling. The wide range wire crimps can easily accomodate under-sized wire being used more often in production today. Nickel plated steel receptacles in the Standard line of FASTON terminals are specifically designed for high temperature applications.
