Useful tips from Splice Crimping Seminar: splice crimping vs. terminals

What are the main differences between splice crimping and standard terminals?

Splice crimping

• Splice is a connection between two or more components of any type: wire, tab, PCB, coil, sensor, diode, etc.
• Each splice connection is designed individually according to the shape, material, production process of a Customer, environment of final product processing, etc.
• Splice connection is up to 20% cheaper than standard terminal connection.
• Splice connection provides easy tooling accessibility for manual and automatic processing. There are enough place between tooling parts to place components.
• Splice crimping with connection qualification guarantees good connection quality.

 

Standard Terminals

• Standard connection is a connection between wire and terminal ONLY.
• Standard terminal is to be chosen from the catalogue. In case of special Customer’s requirements, customized stamping tool must be manufactured.
• Standard terminal connection is up to 20% more expensive than splice connection. Standard terminals are characterized by difficult tooling accessibility both for manual and automatic processing.
• Standard terminals can cause connection defects if they are not adapted to the component dimensions: burrs that can damage connection and lead to short circuit; wire damage and small contact surface increases resistance, makes electricity go along the crimp and results in heating.
