Most people refer to double-crimp terminals as strain-relief terminals, since their secondary larger barrel crimps to the wire's insulation, thereby relieving the strain on the unsupported conductor. From left to right are a standard vinyl-insulated terminal, a double-crimp terminal with its nylon insulation intact, and a similar terminal stripped of its insulation. Ken Whitney suggested we pay the small premium for nylon-insulated terminals; nylon resists higher temperatures and doesn't become brittle, as PVC (vinyl) insulation often does. View Related Article
