250 SERIES MINIATURE
FASTON RECEPTACLE
Low insertion force terminal fits where others do not
TE Connectivity (TE) introduces a 250 series straight, miniature FASTON receptacle
terminal for applications where there is not enough space for a traditional, full size
straight receptacle. Many power tools, small appliances and other applications have
very limited space for the quick connect crimp connections. TE’s 250 series straight,
miniature FASTON receptacle provides a solution. This miniature, tin plated brass
receptacle mates with a standard .250 x .032 tab and supports a continuous current
rating up to 7 amps, and an intermmittent current rating up to 14 amps. Its smaller size
supports competitive pricing. Insertion and extraction forces are comparable to full
size FASTON receptacles.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS:
•
With its miniature size this receptacle fits within confined spaces,
and – as a straight terminal – it typically costs less than a flag
receptacle that might have been considered to dress the wire out
of the confined space.
•
The low insertion force of only 8 pounds or 35.6 Newtons
maximum is ergonomically-friendly, and this may help to increase
line workers’ comfort and productivity when making connections.
•
•
As a 250 series receptacle, it mates with standard .250 x .032
inch tabs that are broadly used across a range of applications.
Accepting 22 through 18 gauge wire, it supports a continuous
current rating up to 7 amps, and an intermittent current rating up
to 14A.
The robust design meets UL 310 and CSA C 22.2 No. 153
requirements, and this agency recognition may aid OEMs the
compliance of their end products.

Applications with limited space
APPLICATION TOOLING:
This 250 series miniature FASTON receptacle is designed
to be a machine-applied terminal. Application tooling
is available from TE in the form of an OCEAN end-feed
applicator. (part number X-2150663-Y) The OCEAN
applicator can be used with a range of different presses
and leadmakers.
TE offers no hand tool for the application of this new
receptacle. It is expected to be applied in volume
applications where semi- or fully-automated process is
used.

DESIGN IN QUESTIONS:
1.
2.
Do you have a space constrained design where you need to mate to a .250x.032 tab with a quick disconnect?
Are you using .250 inch flag terminals to dress 22 – 18 AWG wire out of a tight space?
If the answers are “yes,” TE’s 250 series miniature FASTON receptacle may represent a possible solution for the application. Its
compact size allows it to fit where full size straight 250 series receptacles may not. Additionally, its small size may allow this straight
receptacle to be used where a more expensive flag receptacle was previously required.
