Innovative Quick Connect Termination
Standard FASTON receptacles were developed to bring lower insertion force, higher temperature ratings, and improved assembly efficiency to the quick connect market. They feature an ergonomic low insertion force (LIF) design that is tested to withstand up to six mating cycles – making them well suited for applications with repeated disconnect and reconnect steps. They are available with multiple crimp options, including the innovative 2D crimp that allows less inventory and fewer tooling changeovers since a single terminal and applicator cover the full range of wire sizes. The Standard FASTON receptacles are compatible with legacy FASTON housings. Applications include home appliances, industrial machinery, and transportation.
