MAG-MATE Terminals

TE Connectivity (TE) MAG-MATE terminals for aluminum magnet wire were developed to support the growing adoption of aluminum as a lightweight and low-cost alternative to copper magnet wire. Aluminum magnet wire can be processed by traditional welding processes, but this can only be accomplished with time-consuming wire preparation. In contrast, the MAG-MATE terminals feature a double insulation displacement contact (IDC) slot that supports reliable, high-throughput termination of magnet wire without wire preparation, welding, or soldering. The IDC slot accommodates up to two magnet wires. To connect with an input wire, the terminals feature the commonly used 250 series FASTON tab interface, allowing application across a variety of industries.

Benefits

• IDC termination of the magnet wire without wire preparation, welding, or soldering
• Compatibility with both aluminum and copper magnet wire
• Multipoint contact helps to ensure a reliable electrical connection
• FASTON tab terminal interface seamlessly integrates into a wide range of applications
• Terminals support up to two magnet wires per IDC slot to help simplify electrical designs
