TE Connectivity TERMI-FOIL Wire Terminals TERMI-FOIL wire terminals for use in the manufacture of transformers making it possible to use aluminium foil strip instead of copper wire windings. These TERMI-FOIL wire terminals can be applied to bare, insulated, anodized or coated aluminium and bare or insulated copper wire and have lances that penetrate surface oxides and insulation. When the two faces of these TERMI-FOIL terminals are clamped together these lances embed into the foil or strip creating an air-tight and moisture-proof connection. Typical applications for these TERMI-FOIL wire terminals include air or oil filled transformers, capacitors, reactors, solenoids, relays and regulators. They can also be applied in heating elements, alarm systems and electrostatic shields. Accommodate aluminium foil or strip thickness from 0.03 to 2.41mm and soft copper to 0.025mm
Exceed current-carrying requirements
No surface preparation necessary
No noise injection in low-level audio circuits
Will terminate or tap aluminium foil-wound coils
Will splice two or more pieces of foil or strip
