Automated IDC Magnet Wire Terminations
MAG-MATE terminals use insulation displacement contact (IDC) technology for high-speed termination of copper or aluminum magnet wire without wire stripping, soldering or welding. The termination system includes the IDC terminal and a compatible plastic cavity that is either integrated into the coil body or part of a separate housing. MAG-MATE terminals are designed for fully or semi-automated assembly to provide uniform, gas-tight connections at low applied cost. The product line includes many lead wire attachment options, including crimp, poke-in, quick connect tab, solder post, and receptacle. The IDC slot supports up to two magnet wires for splicing. Applications include motor windings, coil connections, and power supplies.

Featured Products
These terminals help electric motor manufacturers design more compact motor systems. They feature insulation displacement contact (IDC) technology to create a reliable, gas-tight contact that can be assembled efficiently and cost-effectively using automated tooling.
Compact IDC terminals accommodate single or double wire termination for 40-30AWG (0.08-0.25mm) magnet wire.
MAG-MATE Terminals with Multispring Pin
Combination of two key technologies to eliminate the need to solder in a motor connection. This product allows solderless magnet wire termination in the MAG-MATE IDC terminal and solderless PCB termination with the press-fit Multispring pin.
Aluminum Magnet Wire MAG-MATE Terminals With FASTON Tab Interface
MAG-MATE terminals for aluminum magnet wire were developed to support the growing adoption of aluminum as a light-weight and low-cost alternative to copper magnet wire. They feature a double insulation displacement contact (IDC) slot that supports high throughput termination of aluminum or copper magnet wire without wire preparation, welding, or soldering.
