The following information and accompanying graphs are The temperature rise is measured on the 24th cycle and taken from TE Product Qualification Testing of Ultra-Fast the 500th cycle. The maximum temperature rise is limited FASTON product. Tests were conducted on representative to 85C above ambient temperature with a maximum of production samples, and all values shown are averages of 15C increase on any sample between the 24th and 500th group results. The values shown are typical results and cycles. Our testing of 16 AWG wire application indicated a may vary due to differences in processing, application and 25.5C maximum temperature rise up to 500 cycles, with a methods of testing. maximum increase of 0.8C from the 24th to the 500th cycle for one sample in the test group. Current vs. Temperature Rise (16 AWG) Engagement/Separation The heat generated by the current passing through a termination is a primary limit to the load-carrying The forces caused by the rolls of FASTON style terminals capabilities of the application. A low termination resistance determine the contact interface integrity of a mated will produce a lower temperature rise as current is applied. receptacle and tab. These forces must be high enough to In order to evaluate this characteristic, UL has established prevent oxidation and corrosion from forming inside the current ratings for each wire size and set a maximum contact area. As these forces are raised to increase the temperature rise to assure safe operation. For example, 16 electrical performance, the engagement and separation AWG stranded wire has a UL 310 maximum temperature forces for mating the contacts are significantly increased. rise of 30C above ambient temperature at the rated current For this reason, the Premier Low Insertion Force FASTON of 10 amps. In the testing of the Ultra-Fast FASTON product concept of receptacle design has been carried over to the applied to 16 AWG wire, the temperature rise was found to Ultra-Fast FASTON products. This feature provides be below 10C at the rated current. In fact, the temperature consistent engagement and separation forces while rise did not exceed 30C until the current was above 20 maintaining a high standard of electrical reliability. amps, more than twice the rated current. Crimp Tensile Current Cycling vs. Temperature Rise (16 AWG) 1 UL does not have requirements for wire gauges below 22 AWG. Maintaining a safe temperature rise during cyclic Note: Minimum requirements are per TE specifications. applications of excessive current is the toughest challenge for the crimp-thru-plastic concept. The ability of the The crimp tensile strength of a wire-to-terminal connection Ultra-Fast FASTON product line to meet this goal sets it is important in guarding against such hazards as wire apart from other preinsulated terminations. TEs experience flexing, vibration and wire strain. However, maximum tensile in crimp development results in a termination that exhibits strength does not insure maximum electrical performance. stable heating characteristics which are well within the An acceptable compromise between tensile strength and safety requirements of the industry. electrical performance must always be reached, using recommended crimp heights. 90 Catalog 82004 Dimensions are shown for Dimensions are in inches and Canada: +1 (905) 475-6222 UK: +44 (0) 800-267666 Revised 3-11 reference purposes only. millimeters unless otherwise Mexico/C.
