| Thomas & Betts offers new crimping solution  Thomas & Betts offers a wire crimping solution for environments up to 150°C, such as automotive wiring harnesses and ballast-power connections in lighting fixtures, with the introduction of Sta-Kon High Temperature Wire Joints. Made of a molded, one-piece nylon housing for electrical insulation, Sta-Kon High Temperature Wire Joints are rated for temperatures up to 150°C, exceeding the temperature rating of 105°C for conventional wire joints also known as closed-end connectors. High Temperature Wire Joints also are rated for 600V maximum. These wire joints perform well in applications where there are higher-than-normal temperatures. Sta-Kon High Temperature Wire Joints perform well in other OEM applications, such as automotive wiring harnesses, and in numerous construction applications as well.Other features include a brazed copper sleeve, which prevents the separation of the connection during crimping, and internal serrations, which enable cold flow for increased conductivity and pullout strength. The Sta-Kon High Temperature Wire Joints are available in three sizes: for wire range #18 to #16, wire range #16 to #14 and wire range #14 to #12. All install easily with Sta-Kon WT2000, WT2130A, ERG2001 and ERG2007 hand tools, as well as Sta-Kon power tools. Sta-Kon High Temperature Wire Joints are UL Listed and CSA Approved.
