The 330716 is a double-face slotted terminal from the TE Connectivity Solistrand and Termi-Foil series — designed to terminate a foil tab, not a round wire. The slot accepts a foil strip, and the double-face crimp presses onto both sides of the tab for a gas-tight connection. It accepts 10-12 AWG wire on the wire barrel side — that range covers the heavier power and ground leads common in transformer, battery, and bus-bar foil assemblies. The foil crimp area measures 0.454" x 0.708" (11.53mm x 17.98mm) — that pocket must match the foil tab dimensions in your assembly. Overall length is 1.068" (27.13mm), so account for clearance in the wiring channel.
Wire gauge and foil pocket — the fit check
The 10-12 AWG wire range is the primary fit criterion. If your cable is 10 AWG stranded or solid, the wire barrel crimps securely; 12 AWG is the smallest that fills the barrel without excess void. The foil slot is sized for the listed crimp area — confirm your foil tab width and thickness against that pocket before ordering. Nickel finish on the contact means the terminal is not rated for high-cycle mating or corrosive washdown — it is a one-crimp, semi-permanent connection. The copper base metal carries the current; the nickel layer protects against oxidation in the crimp zone.
Lifecycle and sourcing — active and orderable
No official second-source cross-reference is listed; the TE part number is the only identifier. Confirm the BOM line quantity and foil tab dimensions before committing.
