Hi Bob,

We have a discussion at work regarding the suitability of Faston connectors used for high voltage AC systems in mobile applications.?

All the best

Yes - they are acceptable for 120/240 volt applications. I think they have a voltage rating of at least 300 volts.

What is your high AC voltage mobile application?

Mobile power generators – I was told that using Faston for AC application was not a good thing due to the line frequency .. i.e. alternating current causing “vibration” in the connector .. I can not see the issue with using a faston connector in this application, providing a quality faston is used – Not a poor quality Chinese copy.

I was wondering if aircraft used them in high voltage AC applications …

"..I was told that using Faston for AC application was not a good thing due to the line frequency .. i.e. alternating current causing “vibration” in the connector .."
I don't know about that one...

I've never heard of that and it sounds
like an "old wives tale".

The Fast-on connectors are used

ubiquitously in all kinds of things

like appliances. Look inside a
refrigerator, washing machine, dryer,
furnace, air conditioner, etc. All AC
machines that have a fair amount
of mechanical vibration. You will
see lots of Fast-ons.

As you said, stay with high-quality
connectors from T&B or Amp

and crimp properly.
I've never worked on 400hz aircraft
systems so I have no direct knowledge
of whether Fast-ons are used for

that application - but I don't think
frequency is a factor.
