General Product Information Quick connect, push-on or blade terminals feature metal blades with standardized dimensions. They are also referred to as faston terminals, typically measuring 4.8 x 0.,8 mm, 6.3 x 0.,8 mm. The terminal dimensions are specified in the relevant data sheet. Correspondingly, the connecting stranded wires must be fitted with flat pin bushings of identical dimensions.
