Standard FASTON Receptacle Terminals

TE Connectivity's (TE) Standard FASTON Receptacle Terminals are tin-plated brass terminals and high-temperature nickel-plated steel terminals in straight and flag configurations with various crimp barrels. Low insertion force is supported due to a design allowing the mating tab to mate with a rolled edge rather than a sheared edge. Standard FASTON receptacles are performance tested on the sixth mating cycle, not the first, to permit disconnection and reconnection without replacing terminals. Standard TE's FASTON terminals with the 2D crimp allow users to standardize on four terminals to cover a full range of wire sizes, potentially increasing productivity by reducing the need for multiple changeovers. The 2D standard FASTON receptacles are backward compatible with existing housings designed for F crimp FASTON receptacles.
