Terminals

The terminals are placed between strain gage lead and the heavier leads required for the run to measuring or recording instruments to protect strain gage leads from disconnecions or inferior insulation which are lilely to take place during strain gage installation and measurement.

Features

1. Small size
2. Easy to solder because the Terminals are tinplated
3. Very flexible Capable of bonding to flat, spherical or angled surfaces
4. Soldering Heat Resistivity:10² to 2×10² seconds at 230℃
5. Insulation:1×10² to 1×10⁴MΩ
6. Adhering Force:140 to 220kPa

Adhesives for strain gages

To obtain the best possible results frome measurements,it is important that care and attention is given to the selection of the strain gages which may most meet the measuring purposes. At the same time,selection among two basic types of adhesive,Epoxy resin and pressure sensitive adhesive(Cyanoacrylate Series), is slso as important as that for strain gages to the highest results in measurement.

Series	Type	Use	Thermal Deformation Temperature(℃)	Hardening Time	Mixing Ratio by Weight(A:B)	Contents per Set(g)	Pressure to be applied(kPa)
Epoxy	F1	For high temp use	130	2hrs at 100℃	100:20	100	50 to 150
	F31	For general use	80	24hrs at room temp	100:60	100	50 to 150
Phenol-Epoxy	PR7781	For high temp use	180	30min at 140℃	Single Agent	50	500 to 1000
Cyanoacrylate	4000	For general use	70	30sec at room temp	Single Agent	2gr×5	Finger pressure

Humidity-proof coating materials for strain gages

Showa strain gages are encapsulated and therefore are protected from dust and draughts,but please use humidity-proof corting materials under long-term use or field measurements by all means.

Type	Components	Thermal Deformation Temperature(℃)	Contents per Set(g)	Remarks
A-1	Butyl rubber	-30 to 170	1000	Wear pressure with form of clay
C-1	Wax	-50 to 60	500	To be heated to melt and applied by brush.
TSE 397	Silicone	-55 to 200	100	General and high temperature purpose
