The components can accommodate wires up to 16 AWG and are rated for 12-A operation. Tool-less operation is achieved by the use of solid wire. The AST21X and AST22X are available in 3.5- and 5-mm versions and can withstand sustained temperatures of 290°C for well over a minute. UL and VDE approvals are pending.
