Superior terminals for superior connections!
Brazed or Overlapped Seam
A long barrel design is of little value unless it is one solid piece. That is why
Thomas & Betts brazes the seam on our vinyl insulated Sta-Kon
and overlaps the seam on nylon insulated terminals. Many competitive terminals
have butted seams. This means increased chances for wirestrand loss, poor
resistance, wire pullout, and electrical failure. If the installer doesn’t position
the tool exactly on the correct spot on the barrel, there’s likely going to be
an improper termination. The butted seam can also fold due to tool-applied
pressure piercing the terminals insulation from the inside out. With a brazed
or overlapped seam, the installer can crimp anywhere along the barrel’s surface.
This provides up to 2.5 times the tensile strength of a butted seam terminal,
guaranteeing proper electrical flow, void free.
Selective Annealing
Because of the mechanical strength of copper, an installer can
experience fatigue associated with repeated installations. For this
reason, Thomas & Betts puts its terminals through one more step
called selective annealing. This process leaves the barrel soft
enough to crimp and form around the wire. However, we “cold form” the
tongue during the manufacturing process so it remains strong. This is done so
the tongue can withstand repeated bends and bolt tightening strain common
in most electrical installations. Many competitors attempt to accomplish
similar goals by removing valuable material or using a softer copper, which
has lower conductivity. This increases electrical resistance as well as the odds
for shorting and downtime.

Anti-Rotational Tongues
This is a unique feature to the Thomas & Betts ring tongue terminal. This
design prevents terminal shorting by keeping the terminal secure in the
terminal block. The installer can place a greater number of terminals closer
together without worry.
Proper Identification
We identify all terminals with Thomas & Betts initials, T & B. We also indicate
wire and stud sizes. These markings are clearly visible on the surface of the
tongue, taking any guesswork out of replacing or reordering additional parts.
Our superior bright plating also assists in visibility.
All Sta-Kon
are Deburred and Degreased
To ensure a Sta-Kon
are put through a process that cleans and smooths the terminal of any
manufacturing by-products — mainly grease, oils, and sharp edges. Many
competitive products do not put their product through such rigorous finishing.
