Is it suitable for single-strand, multi-strand, or stranded wire? Are there requirements for the conductor material (e.g., tinned copper, bare copper)?

Yes—this terminal is designed to work with single-core (single-strand) and multi-strand (stranded) wires, as well as tinned copper stranded conductors, depending on the specific wire size and insulation OD.

Single wire (solid conductor): suitable when the conductor diameter is within the specified wire range and can be stripped with the recommended strip length. Multi-strand wire (stranded conductor): suitable and commonly recommended for reliable crimp forming because it fills the conductor barrel well. Twisted/concentrically stranded wire (as applicable): acceptable only if the conductor type is within the approved crimp compatibility and does not create excessive strand spread or voids. Regarding wire material requirements:

The standard requirement is copper conductor, typically tinned copper (to improve corrosion resistance and crimp stability). Bare (untinned) copper may also be acceptable, but performance depends on the plating finish requirements, environmental conditions, and customer acceptance criteria. If your application involves high vibration, moisture, or long-term outdoor exposure, tinned copper is strongly recommended. To confirm full compatibility, please provide the following details:

Terminal part number Target wire size (AWG or mm²) Conductor type (solid / stranded / tinned / bare) and number of strands (if stranded) Insulation outside diameter (insulation OD) and insulation material (if relevant) Whether you will use conductor crimp only or conductor + insulation crimp Once we have your cable parameters, we can confirm whether your exact conductor type is accepted and advise any adjustments needed for the best crimp quality and pull-out strength.
