Product details

Crimp terminal for 14-18 AWG wire

The 42281-1: Crimp termination, brass contact material, free-hanging in-line mounting — the 0.100" to 0.170" (2.54mm to 4.32mm) insulation diameter range covers common PVC and cross-linked wire jackets.

Fastin-Faston sibling comparison

Within the Fastin-Faston family, the 42281-1 shares the same 0.250" tab width, 0.032" tab thickness, and brass construction as the 42100-1 and 42282-1 — the difference is overall length: 0.750" (19.05mm) for the 42281-1 and 42100-1 versus 0.800" (20.32mm) for the 42282-1. The 42904-2 accepts 12-16 AWG with a wider insulation diameter range (0.150" to 0.190") and carries tin-plated contacts — choose the 42281-1 for 14-18 AWG circuits where brass is sufficient.
