Oh . . . I've not seen the "handshake" c
olloquialism
applied to terminals before . . . but it seems to
make sense for knife splices.
TE CONNECTIVITY / AMP 320555
Is this a 'handshake' terminal? Need to keep
my hangarspeak dictionary up to date!

Hi Bob;
Yes, I believe you have illustrated the handshake. Is it less colloquially called
a knife splice?
Cheers! Stu.

Interesting question. A google search
on 'knife splice' yielded 390,000
hits; 'hand shake splice' yielded
only 151,000 hits. But in spite of
my own ignorance for the use of
'hand shake' . . . it's obviously
in wide spread use.

Question regarding both the knife/handshake and wristlock connectors.
Do they achieve the high pressure connection that the spade terminals
achieve? Aside from electrically insulating them from the environment
should any additional steps be taken to "seal them in"? I'm thinking of
dielectric grease coating under shrink seal, or even better, adhesive
filled shrink seal.

The things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty,
understanding and feeling are the concomitants of failure in our system.
And those traits we detest, sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness,
egotism and self-interest are the traits of success. And while men
admire the quality of the first they love the produce of the second.
-John Steinbeck, novelist, Nobel laureate (1902-1968)

Ordinary heat-shrink keeps them engaged and
free of incidental contamination. It's been
done this way on TC aircraft forever . . .
did it on B52s in 1960 except we had
soft vinyl tubing with string ties on both
ends . . . the era before heat-shrink.
The purpose of this kind of joint is SERVICEABILITY,
ease of opening single strands for maintenance.
They've proven quite adequate to the task
for decades.

That's a very clever idea. Thank you, Kent. I'll keep that one in mind.
Given the way that the interior of the BD-4C is built, I am more likely to
rivet a little piece of scrap to a an aluminum angle that is part of the
frame than to use epoxy. But you have given me food for thought.

Do you know how F4 tape compares to Harbor Freight silicon tape

@ $3.99 for 10 feet? Or various other brands such as Super Glue, Nashua,and

Not really. I bought some black tape from ?????? and it works fine
also. The F4 does seem to fuse better and I think it has more heat
resistence.
But have never compared.

There are a lot of uses for this stuff..

Not cheapbut a little goes a long way.
Another use for me is for strain relief for connectors. I wrap it
around the wires and then clamp the back shell around the bundle. Great
for when you have only couple of wires going into a DB-25 connector.
