Nichifu's advanced technology has enabled the production with hardened tongue keeping softness of the barrel area unchanged. HS-terminals offer a tongue hardness of HV75-100 compared with the HV55 of non-HS terminals. 40% improvement in hardness that eliminates accidental bending. Thus, corrective straightening is not required, making installation quick and easy. With no change to the hardness of the barrel, the HS-terminal has the same crimping performance as non-HS terminals. Another distinguished feature of the HS is the notch at the center of brazed seam which designates the proper crimping position.
A lug is An electrical connector that incorporates a wire crimp connection and a bolted stud hole connection for use in a heavy duty electrical power or grounding application. They are ordinarily made of a conductive material like copper, brass, or aluminum and are usually uninsulated.
