FASTON terminal
AMP FASTON terminals are widely used in electronic and electrical equipment, and compatible terminals are manufactured by many different vendors, commonly using the term "quick disconnect" or "tab" terminals. They are similar in size to some of the Packard terminals, such as Packard 56, and may have been derived from them.
Four different series are available, named after their width in inches. [1]. Insulated versions of the terminals are color-coded to indicate what gauges of stranded wire they may be used with. The terminal system consists of tabs (male) and receptacles (female). There are also versions of both tabs and receptacles that can be mounted directly to circuit boards.
A little-known hand tool exists for inserting the terminals, the AMP Universal Handle.
Two main styles of crimps are specified by AMP:
Insulation Color Code | Wire Size Range AWG | Comments |
---|---|---|
Yellow | 26–22 | |
Transparent | 24–20 | |
Red | 22–16 | |
Blue | 16–14 | |
Yellow/Black | 16–14 | Heavy Duty |
Yellow | 12–10 | |
Red | 8 | |
Blue | 6 | |
Yellow | 4 | |
Red | 2 | |
Blue | 1/0 | |
Yellow | 2/0 | |
Red | 3/0 | |
Blue | 4/0 |
0.312 inch male tab width
0.250 inch male tab width
0.205 inch male tab width
0.187 inch male tab width
