Hollingsworth Terminal-Ology

Hollingsworth terminals are constructed of pure Electrolytic Tough Pitch (ETP) Copper for the highest conductivity and annealed to insure maximum installed strength. Construction is a one burr-free piece for maximum strength and Electro-Tin plated for maximum corrosion resistance. The open barrel end allows for visual inspection of wire location, before and after crimping. Serrated V grooved to maximize holding power and Funnel Entry design groups wire strands together for fast, positive entry into the terminal barrel. Our 3- piece “Funnel FIIG” is the highest quality terminal in the marketplace. For a closer look, see Construction of a Hollingsworth solderless terminal.pdf.
