Uninsulated Flag Terminal, Small Packs, 16-14 Wire Size, 0.250" x 0.032" Tab Size

They are fairly heavy duty flag terminals that are made in Taiwan and I received a package of twenty. My experience with these terminals is that the plating looks just like the picture, but it's much more precise than most of the spade terminals that I have worked with previously. These terminals look almost like hot dip galvanized coatings, but I would never call them As you can see from the picture, the terminals I received are very different from what I expected in that there is a large square hole between the spade and the lug end where the wire is actually crimped that Crimping is not always done carefully, so it's fairly easy for the whole terminal to simply break in half when the very small areas on either side of the hole are not covered well enough. Because of the way the wire lug end is formed, it is rather difficult to get a quality crimp with these terminals using normal tools. I found that when I crimped the lug end, instead of making a nice crimp like most spade terminals, the end flattened out. It calls out a special crimping tool on the back of the package, but all I had was the regular wire crimp pliers which are usually used for typical wire crimp-ins. The terminals are located on. It seems as though the tool would make crimping easier and more effective. Unfortunately, without the special tool, crimping was difficult, since the crimping dies were located in an odd spot on the pliers and would crush the spade portion of the terminal when they were crimped. In the end, I used a very old pair of wire crimping pliers with dies that had been conveniently positioned on the end of the jaws so that when crimping the terminal, the spade portion would clear the jaws. Had I not had these at hand, I would probably have used some of my normal slip joint pliers and the results probably would not have been While the round terminals don't seem to grip the wire very well, they do seem to grip the wire quite well with the flattened out lugs.

The ones I used were soldered. needed to rewire a heating element in a confined space, but began to panic because of the.

It is quality that you look for when you purchase stuff like this. To attach them to my application, I soldered them rather than crimped them. Whenever you slide the female over the male, it springs, does not bend as though it had no.

Even though spade terminals are hard to get excited about, these are nice, solid terminals nonetheless. Despite their small size, they hold tight and grip well. Repurchase would be a no-brainer.
