Simplifies the Process of Design-In, Assembly, Procurement and Inventory Management
Our new 2D crimp technology, compared to existing crimp technologies significantly reduces the complexity of design-in, assembly, procurement and inventory management in appliances, industrial equipment and automotive applications. The innovation behind TE’s 2D crimp technology is its ability to use one terminal and a single, adjustable applicator for many different wire sizes – while still providing electrical and mechanical reliability comparable to TE’s conventional F crimp technology. In comparison, an F-crimp requires three or four terminals, with each terminal requiring its own applicator, to address that same range of wire sizes.
Product Features
- Crimp accommodates wide range of wire sizes
- Only one applicator for a 2D crimp terminal and a wide range of wire sizes
- Only crimp height must be adjusted for different wire sizes
- Permits the use of only one terminal instead of three or four to cover the various wire sizes, reducing the complexity of design in, procurement and inventory management when multiple wire sizes are used
- Lower investment in application tooling and less set up time when multiple wire sizes are used
- Applicator can be quickly adjusted when wire sizes are changed, increasing throughput and decreasing downtime
In this video, you will see TE Connectivity's 2D Crimp using a terminal and applicator for 22-12AWG wires.
Application Tooling
Applicator, Conversion Kits, and Hand Tools
Applicator and Conversion Kits
- One TE OCEAN applicator can apply a terminal based on 2D crimp technology to wire sizes from 22-12AWG.
- For customers who already have TE applicators for the F crimp 250 series straight FASTON receptacles, TE will offer conversion kits. Each kit will consist of wire crimpers, insulation crimper and anvil. The kit will enable an existing TE applicator to be used with 2D crimp terminals and wire sizes from 22-12AWG.
Hand Tool
- The SDE-SA hand tool can be used with appropriate SDE die sets and crimp nests to apply a terminal with 2D crimp to wire sizes from 22-12AWG for prototyping and other low volume requirements.
