What is a Serration?

Serrations are precision impressions stamped into the conductor crimp of a terminal. Although different serration designs have been used over time, typically serrations are “lines” perpendicular to the direction of the crimp. Serrations have micro-cut edges which serve a distinct purpose and function.

What is the Function of a Serration?

During the crimp process, wire is compressed into the terminal. Individual strands are compressed into the serrations. The process of compressing the strands into a serration provides a number of benefits: Edges of the Serration break through the oxides in a strand, decreasing electrical resistance.Wire embedded in a serration improves tensile forces. Compressive forces are spread across multiple contact forces.

Did you know?

When comparing non-serrated crimps with serrated crimps:Pull Out Force (tensile) in the serrated crimp is higher.Electrical Resistance is generally reduced.

What is “More”?

More is the result of achieving something greater. More in a business sense can include: Higher EfficienciesBetter Communication between personnelBetter Decision Making Processes Ultimately, Achieving More provides benefits to employees and the company in general. Benefits can include: Higher moral between employees.Greater Employee RetentionLower Cost of OperationHigher Profits

How Do We Help Many to Achieve More?

Business conditions are evolving at a speed not seen before in human history. The advent of technology like AI and business processes like Industry 4.0 require companies to pivot quickly to stay current and not get left behind. This applies to our company (we have to practice what we preach) and our customers.
