Speed, Reliability, and Low Per-line Cost
FASTON tabs and receptacles comprise a family of quick connect terminals that offer high processing rate, low applied cost, and consistent contact reliability. The family includes straight and flag quick disconnect receptacles, wire crimp tabs, printed circuit board (PCB) tabs, and board mount tabs. Terminals are available with numerous optional features, including insulated Ultra-Fast and Ultra-Pod FASTON terminals, low insertion force (LIF) Standard FASTON receptacles, compact mini FASTON terminals, and high temperature resistant nickel-plated steel terminals. FASTON products are grouped into series based on tab width, ranging from .110in for the smallest “110 series” to .312in for the largest “312 series”.

Featured Products
Advanced quick disconnect terminals featuring a robust low insertion force (LIF) design tested to withstand up to six mating cycles. Terminals are available in multiple crimping options, including the innovative 2D crimp that accepts a full range of wire sizes with a single terminal and applicator.
Terminals with ergonomic features for safe and efficient assembly, including improved retention, insertion, and contact-stability benefits.
Ultra-Fast FASTON Receptacles and Tabs
Fully insulated FASTON receptacles and tabs provide a fully protected terminal and a closed barrel wire crimp.
Ultra-Pod FASTON Pre-insulated Terminals
Fully insulated FASTON receptacles and tabs featuring an F-crimp terminal that is crimped and insulated with a single stroke of the press and applicator.
4.8 Series FASTON Receptacles for Multi Thickness Tabs
The 4.8 (187) series straight FASTON receptacle terminals are designed to mate with either a 0.5 mm (.020 in) or 0.8 mm (.031 in) thick quick disconnect tab.
250 Series Miniature FASTON Receptacle
Compact straight terminal for space constrained applications. The receptacle mates .250x.032in tabs and supports up to 7A of continuous current.
TE Connectivity’s 2D Crimp simplifies wire termination with one terminal and one applicator for wire sizes 22–12 AWG. Compared to traditional F-crimps that require multiple terminals and tools, the 2D Crimp delivers robust electrical and mechanical performance while reducing costs, tooling, and inventory. See how this innovative crimping solution helps improve efficiency and supports a wider wire range — all in one design.
