Precision Crimping with PIDG FASTON Terminals
PIDG FASTON Receptacle and Tabs are high-performance, pre-insulated terminals engineered for exceptional reliability in demanding circuit environments. Each terminal features a tin-plated brass body, a precision copper sleeve, and a robust insulation sleeve designed to ensure consistent crimping quality. TE’s compression crimping technology, paired with precision-matched dies and tools, delivers uniform crimps that are visually and mechanically consistent. The result is a contamination-free, shock-resistant termination with tensile strength approaching that of the wire itself—ideal for critical applications where durability and performance are essential.

Receptacles and Tabs
| Product Facts | The TE Mated Tool/Terminal Concept | The Crimp |
| Pre-insulated terminal designed for complete and uniform reliability in the most difficult circuit environment | TE compression crimping produces crimps for a given size wire and terminal that are precisely alike in appearance and performance | Crimping pressure does not overstress nor understress the terminal barrel — machined dies fully bottom to the precise crimp height |
| Consists of an unplated or tin plated brass body or a tin plated phosphor bronze body with a specially designed copper sleeve and insulation sleeve fitted over the terminal barrel | Terminal and the crimping tool are designed as precisely matched devices | Resulting termination is free of contamination |
| Design of the tool dies and construction of the terminal insures uniform insulation thickness under crimping pressure, transmitting this pressure evenly to the center of the crimp area | Dies are precisionengineered from the finest hard-metal alloys | Resistant to most shock and critical environments |
| Crimping pressure is controlled by a ratchet device on the hand tool or a corresponding precalibration in the crimping jaws of TE automated crimping machines | Tensile strength approaches that of the wire itself |
