Testing 

 

Mechanical 

The tensile test, or pull test, is a means of evaluating the mechanical properties of the crimped connections.  The following charts 
show the UL specifications for various wire sizes.  The tensile strength is shown in pounds, and it indicates the minimum acceptable 
force to break or separate the terminal from the conductor.
