Edge Disconnect Terminal for 22-30 AWG Wire
The TE Connectivity 61455-2 is a crimp-style edge disconnect terminal from the Amp-Edge series, designed to terminate 22-30 AWG wire. It mates with a flat blade or busbar edge — not a round pin — making it the correct choice for applications where a quick-disconnect from a PCB edge or power distribution bus is needed. The crimp termination requires the matching tooling; this is not a solder or insulation displacement part.
Wire Sizing and Termination
The 22-30 AWG range covers common signal and low-power wire gauges. For a given harness, the terminal barrel must match the conductor diameter — 30 AWG is fine-stranded signal wire, while 22 AWG is a heavier power or ground lead. The crimp termination gives a gas-tight connection when the correct die is used; the terminal itself is the edge disconnect half, so the mating receptacle is a flat blade or busbar, not a standard header.
