Termination solutions Easily and reliably connect your wires Spec-Kon Solderless crimp connectors Experience the Spec-Kon advantage 1 Thomas & Betts (today a Member of the ABB Group) developed the first tool-applied solderless terminals and connectors more than 60 years ago in response to industry awareness of the need for better performance of electrical systems. Since then, the crimping technology, in which a permanent Double crimp joining of wires / cables to connectors is achieved by the The double crimp feature has an extra copper sleeve within the insertion of a conductor into the barrel of the connector, which barrel to ensure additional solid conductivity and pull-out-strenght. is then compressed to form a solid joint, has proven its many Ideal for high vibration or heavy industrial applications. advantages year after year.
