Pre-Insulated Terminals
Ring Terminal - RT Range
The Legend / CABAC™ range of pre-insulated terminals is comprehensive, and is being
developed continually as switchgear, contactors, terminal blocks, etc. evolve.
In more recent years terminals have been getting smaller, and we have developed
our range of 0.5mm tab thickness quick connectors, increased our range of
bootlace pins and introduced the 0.3mm2 range of terminals to name a few
developments. Our terminals are high quality 300V terminals having many advanced
features for ease of use.
- High quality product meeting International Standards
- Long-term electrical integrity
- A unique funnel entry that speeds wire terminating and increases reliability
- Translucent nylon in fully insulated quick connectors reduces installation
errors
- Full technical backup including QA
- Approved by government
authorities
- Conforms to AS 3169 and AS 4437
All terminals should be crimped
onto the conductor using a quality crimper that is designed
to crimp the specific terminal type. If unsure of the terminal/conductor/crimper
combination refer to the technical information following and test the nominal
pull out force of the crimped connection. If the conductor does not pull out
when the nominal pull out force is applied and held for one minute, this will
give a good indication of the integrity of the joint. We offer a vast range of
crimpers for various applications and terminal types that are shown in the
tooling section.

In general, the wire should protrude 1mm out of
the front of the terminal.
Funnel
Entry
The funnel entry has been specifically developed
to speed up wire terminating, while ensuring maximum reliability of the crimped
connection. Only single grip terminals are funnel entry.
- Speeds insertion of the wire
- Avoids strands folding back and minimises
short-circuit risks
- Reduces stripping tolerances
- Speeds and simplifies the operation, reducing
errors and rejects
- Reduces installation time

Standard Entry
Fig. 1
Having stripped the insulation, the wire strands
tend to 'spring', resulting in a difficult insertion.
Fig. 2
Not all strands are inserted into the terminal
barrel, therefore the wire section is only partially crimped
Funnel Entry
Fig. 3
All of the wire strands are properly funnelled
into the terminal barrel.
Fig. 4
The wire section can be fully crimped and is both
electrically and mechanically more reliable.
