DESCRIPTION

The 2280687-1 is a crimping terminal manufactured by TE Connectivity for solderless wire attachment in industrial electrical systems. The terminal is designed to form a homogeneous metal connection when a crimping tool compresses the wire barrel around stripped wire strands, eliminating the need for solder, heat, or flux. The terminal must meet industry certification standards including vibration testing (16 hours exposure to intense vibration without electrical discontinuity or physical damage), crimp tensile strength requirements per MIL-T-7928, and dielectric strength testing to ensure insulation integrity. Voltage drop testing verifies the quality of the homogeneous mass formed during crimping, where the combined resistance of the wire barrel and stripped wire is less than the sum of individual component resistances. This terminal is commonly used in industrial power distribution, control systems, and equipment assembly where reliable, cost-effective solderless connections are required, and proper tool-terminal matching from the same manufacturer is essential to ensure lasting crimp performance and certification compliance.
