BESCHRIJVING

843473-1 is a crimping terminal manufactured by TE Connectivity for solderless wire-to-terminal connections in industrial systems. The terminal is designed to compress around stripped wire strands, forming a homogeneous metal connection without requiring solder, heat, or flux. The product must meet industry certification standards including vibration testing (16 hours exposure without electrical discontinuity or physical damage), crimp tensile strength testing to ensure wire does not pull out or separate, dielectric strength testing to verify insulation integrity, and voltage drop testing to confirm electrical resistance stability. Proper crimp quality requires correct selection of wire, terminal, and applicator tool from the same manufacturer, with crimped wire remaining straight without loops or sharp edges and all wire strands equally distributed. This terminal is widely used in industrial electrical assemblies where reliable, low-cost solderless connections are required, offering significant cost savings and performance advantages when properly crimped with matched tooling.
