TE Connectivity's New SIAMEZE Terminals for Aluminum Wires

Is space at a premium in your motor design? TE's SIAMEZE terminals offer a space-saving design solution (terminal height of 7.62 mm or 0.3 in) that is ideal for use in compact motor designs.

SIAMEZE terminals are insulation displacement connection (IDC) terminals for use in the termination of magnet wires. The innovative use of IDC technology to terminate magnet wires, allows for significant applied costs savings by eliminating the need for welding/and or soldering in the termination process.

The design of SIAMEZE terminals produces residual spring energy providing the necessary normal force needed to enable a quality metal to metal interface, producing a clean, stable and gas-tight electrical connection. Available in wire-to-wire, wire-to-blade, PCB post and tab configurations that offer flexible design options. In addition, the unique terminal design includes 4 burrs that penetrate the wire insulation, eliminating the need to strip the film insulation from the magnet wire and lead wires, saving time and labor costs.

The introduction of these newest terminals to the SIAMEZE terminal product offering now allows for termination of aluminum magnet wires, enabling customers with the flexibility to use aluminum instead of copper magnet wire in their motor designs, which can provide significant material cost savings.
