TE Connectivity introduced 4.8 mm (0.187 in) Series FASTON Receptacle

TE Connectivity (TE) introduces 4.8 mm (0.187 in) series FASTON receptacle terminals that mate with various thickness tabs. These straight quick-connect crimp receptacles are designed to mate with standard 4.8 x 0.81 mm (0.187 x 0.032 in) or 4.8 x 0.51 mm (0.187 x 0.020 in) tabs with retention holes. The open barrel, F-crimp design is only 15 mm (0.59 in) long, allowing these receptacles to fit where some other straight receptacles will not. The design is based on UL 310 and IEC 61210 (VDE 613) standards and incorporates insulation support. Part number 2293255-1 accommodates 0.5 - 1.50 mm2 (20 - 16 AWG) wires with 2.3 - 3.3 mm (0.09 - 0.13 in) diameter insulation, while part number 2293895-1 is available for 1.0 - 2.50 mm2 (17 - 14 AWG) wires with 3.0 - 4.3 mm (0.12 - 0.17 in) diameter insulation.

Benefits:

• 4.8 (187) series straight receptacles are broadly used in many applications across various industries.
• Given that these receptacles mate with 0.5 or 0.8mm (.020 or .032 in) thick tabs, they simplify design in, procurement and assembly, potentially improving quality through fewer mismatches, and ultimately lowering the cost of quality.
• With their compact size of only 15mm long, they fit in confined spaces where other terminals might be too long.
• The compact size means less material utilization, and that can contribute to lower unit cost.
• With the two receptacles accepting wire from 0.5 - 2.5mm2, they support wire sizes used across many applications, and the 2293895-1 receptacle with 2.5mm2 wire is rated up to 20A
• The terminals are based on UL 310 and IEC 61210 (VDE 613) standards

Applications:

• Small appliances
• Power tools
• Lift equipment
• Major appliances
• Air conditioning
• Lighting
• Automotive and transportation
• Industrial machinery and controls
