Flag Terminal Applicator Produced UL 749 Compliant Insulated Connector
A new assembly machine that inserts a small plastic cover into the back of their pre-assembled insulated flag terminal to meet the UL 749 dishwasher standard is being introduced by ETCO Incorporated of Bradenton, Florida.
The ETCO Closed-Back Insulated Flag Applicator is a bench top machine that inserts a small plastic cover into the back of an insulated flag terminal after it is processed in an applicator and attached to a wire. Producing a compact connector that complies fully with the UL 749 dishwasher standard, this pneumatic assembly machine inserts the plastic covers from a reel.
Featuring semi-automatic operation, the ETCO Closed-Back Insulated Flag Applicator can process up to 2000 parts-per-hour. The plastic inserts are made of fire-retardant nylon and the closed-back flag connectors are more compact, secure, and less time-consuming to assemble then plastic clamshell add-ons which snap around an entire connector, claims the firm.
The ETCO Closed-Back Insulated Flag Applicator is offered for sale or lease.  Price quotations and specifications are available upon request.
