Yes. This terminal can be used with single-core (solid), multi-core (stranded), and twisted/concentrically stranded wires, within the specified wire size range (AWG/mm²) and provided the conductor type is compatible with the crimp barrel geometry and wire-stripping requirements.
- Conductor types Solid (single-wire): Suitable if the conductor diameter is within the terminal’s approved range and the crimp forms correctly (no excessive conductor deformation or insufficient strand/conductor capture). Stranded (multi-strand): Commonly recommended for stable crimp formation and reliable pull-out strength because the conductor fills the barrel more consistently. Twisted/concentrically stranded: Acceptable only when it still falls within the approved conductor size/type and does not cause strand separation, voids, or poor crimp formation.
- Conductor material requirements The recommended conductor material is typically copper, and the preferred finish is usually:
Tinned copper (recommended) for improved corrosion resistance and consistent crimp/barrel contact. Bare (untinned) copper may be acceptable depending on your environment and customer requirements, but it must still meet the terminal specification for crimpability and performance after oxidation/corrosion exposure. 3) What we need to confirm full compatibility To give a definitive answer for your use case, please provide:
Terminal part number Target wire size (AWG or mm²) and insulation OD Conductor type: solid / stranded / twisted Conductor finish: tinned copper or bare copper (and number of strands if stranded) Whether you will perform conductor crimp only or conductor + insulation crimp With those details, we can confirm the exact approved conductor/finish, and provide the recommended strip length and crimp qualification criteria (crimp dimensions, pull-out strength, and electrical contact/continuity requirements).
