DESCRIPTION

8-53244-1 is a pre-insulated solderless hook tongue terminal designed for reliable termination in control circuits and power wiring applications. The terminal accommodates 22-16 AWG wire (509-3260 circular mils, 0.26-1.65 mm²) and features a blue vinyl insulation with UL 94V-0 rating for high dielectric strength. The copper terminal body with tin plating provides exceptional corrosion resistance, while the serration feature inside the barrel delivers superior contact and tensile strength. The terminal is color-coded for easy wire size identification and is compatible with AMP application tooling for uniform, high-quality terminations in automotive, industrial control, and heavy-duty power distribution systems.
