Sta-Kon Terminals Why Sta-Kon Terminals Are Better - continued Selective Annealing
•Deep Internal Serrations
• Flat bottom box • Electro-tin plating • Center reinforced spring detent lor minimum insertion force • Compound Spring Rails provide positive contact after repeated insertions
Because of the mechanical strength of copper, an installer can experience fatigue associated with repeated installations. For this reason Thomas & Betts puts our terminals through one more step called selective annealing. This process leaves the barrel soft enough to crimp and form around the wire. However, we "cold form" the tongue during the manufacturing process so it remains strong. This is done so the tongue can withstand repeated bends and bolt tightening strain common in most electrical installations. Many competitors attempt to accomplish similar goals by removing valuable material or using a softer copper which has lower conductivity. This increases electrical resistance as well as the odds for shorting and downtime.
All Sta-Kon* Terminals are Debarred and Degreased To insure a Sta-Kon® terminal is properly plated and insulated, all our parts are put through a process which cleans and smooths the terminal of any manufacturing by-products, mainly grease, oils and sharp edges. Many competitive products do not put their product through such rigorous finishing.
Platings/Finish Electroplated-Tin is standard. All others require minimum order quantities and are generally not stocked. Alternative platings as follows: Gold, Silver, Tinalloys, Nickel, etc. The following finishes are available on most one-piece Sta-Kon® terminals: Finish
Suffix
Gold Plate
GP
Anti-Rotational Tongues
Nickel Plate
NP
This is a unique feature to the Thomas & Betts ring tongue terminal. This design prevents terminal shorting by keeping the terminal secure in the terminal block. The installer can place a greater number of terminals closer together without worry.

Proper Identification We identify all terminals with Thomas & Betts initials, T & B. We also indicate wire and stud sizes. These markings are clearly visible on the surface of the tongue, taking any guesswork out of replacing or reordering additional parts. Our superior bright plating also assists in visibility.

The Shure Stake" Tools are Matched to Terminals
ERG-2001
The Shure Stake" mechanism prevents the dies from releasing the terminal until the proper compression has been completed. With this method, an operator achieves a reliable crimp everytime. Thomas & Setts' tooling techniques correctly match tools, wire size and terminal to produce optimum mechanical and electrical performance.
