Wire Termination & Insulation
The tough, high-temperature insulation on magnet wire used by electrical
motor and transformer manufacturers creates problems in splicing and
terminating. The durability of magnet wire insulation has made dip-
soldering or brazing extremely difficult without stripping the insulation.
Another splicing and terminating challenge involves the use of aluminum
for magnet applications. A manufacturer connecting aluminum magnet wire
to copper is faced with the problem of the different coefficients of thermal
expansion of the two metals, galvanic corrosion, cold flow, and
the rapid formation of oxide film on the wire surface.
T&B offers a solution for a highly reliable connection method for magnet
wire. It eliminates welding, no longer requires removal of insulation and
it can be installed in seconds. No special operator skills are needed. The
connector and matching tooling do the entire job. To meet the essential
requirements of magnet wire connections, T&B offers the insulation
piercing Dragon Tooth

Magnet
Wire Connectors penetrate the insulation and oxide layers to make electrical contact on
magnet wiring. The result is permanent, low-resistance electrical connections, capable of
maintaining contact integrity throughout the life of the connection.
• Designed to penetrate magnet wire insulation during application,
eliminating the need for stripping, brazing, welding or other methods
of joining magnet wire
• Can be installed in seconds
• Requires minimal training for installation
• Made of copper alloy, tin plated, with teeth on the inner surface
• Splices and taps have an open side enabling easy access to wire and
making internal coil tapping possible
• For aluminum to copper, aluminum to aluminum or copper to copper
magnet wire connections
• Supplied with bolt holes to accommodate #6 through
1
⁄2" studs and
includes male and female .250" x .032" disconnects
• Rings and fork terminals accommodate wire sizes #24 to #12 AWG
in a variety of combinations, including combining magnet wire with
stripped wire lead. For solid or stranded wire #20 to 4/0 AWG
• Larger connectors accommodate circular mil range from 50,000
to 460,000 CMA
• Connector and matching tooling do the entire job
Transformer manufacturers depend on Dragon Tooth
