Crimped Leads  

Leads are externally crimped to solid pins exiting from the heater then covered with fiberglass sleeving for electrical insulation. Crimped on leads are recommended for applications where the entrance to the heater is above the rated temperature of the lead wire. Since the connection between the leads and power pins is made outside the heater, the unheated length at the lead end is kept to the minimum. Crimped on leads are not recommended for applications where the leads must be sharply near the heater, or in applications where the leads will be subject to a lot flexing. the high temperature connectors covered by 1-1/2" of 2500 volt silicone rubber coated fiberglass sleeving.
