THOMAS

THOMAS is a brand name that appears across two distinct product categories supplied by 3G Electric: pneumatic components (compressors and vacuum pumps) under the THOMAS brand, and electrical connection products under the THOMAS & BETTS brand. The THOMAS brand, historically associated with Gardner Denver (now part of Ingersoll Rand), manufactures diaphragm, piston, and rotary vane compressors and vacuum pumps used in medical, industrial, and environmental applications. THOMAS & BETTS, a legacy brand now owned by ABB Installation Products, produces electrical connectors, crimping dies, and cable management components for power distribution and industrial wiring. 3G Electric stocks 86 SKUs across both lines, including diaphragm combination compressor/vacuum pumps (e.g., MPN 107CAB18, 3/64 hp, 115V AC, 22.1 in Hg max vacuum, 0.14 cfm at 30 psi) and a range of Color-Keyed crimping dies for copper and aluminum connectors (e.g., MPN 15527SS for 6 AWG, MPN 15511SS for 4/0 AWG copper/2/0 AWG aluminum). The THOMAS & BETTS crimping dies are designed for use with specific tool frames (TBM6S, TBM6PCR-LI, TBM62PCR-LI) and follow a color-coded die code system (e.g., Code 37, Code 15527SS) to match connector sizes. The THOMAS compressor/vacuum pumps feature oil-less diaphragm construction, 1/8 in NPT inlet ports, and are rated for continuous duty. 3G Electric supports these lines with datasheets, global logistics, and technical specification access, enabling engineers and procurement specialists to select components based on voltage, pressure, vacuum, wire gauge, and connector material requirements.

Common Applications

  • Industrial wiring — THOMAS & BETTS Color-Keyed crimping dies (e.g., MPN 15527SS) for terminating 6 AWG aluminum conductors in panel boards
  • Motor lead connections — THOMAS & BETTS female motor lead disconnects (e.g., MD1F-2) for 1 AWG copper wires in motor control centers
  • Pneumatic instrumentation — THOMAS diaphragm compressor/vacuum pump (e.g., 107CAB18) for sampling systems requiring 22.1 in Hg vacuum
  • Cable management — THOMAS & BETTS snap-in plastic connectors (e.g., MPN 3300) for securing 10/2 cable in junction boxes
  • Power distribution — THOMAS & BETTS upper crimping dies (e.g., MPN 13473) for 250-300 kcmil copper connectors in substation terminations
  • Environmental monitoring — THOMAS combination compressor/vacuum pump for air sampling equipment requiring 0.14 cfm at 30 psi

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about THOMAS from 3G Electric.

What is the difference between THOMAS and THOMAS & BETTS products?

THOMAS refers to a brand of compressors and vacuum pumps (diaphragm, piston, rotary vane) used for pneumatic applications. THOMAS & BETTS is a separate brand specializing in electrical connectors, crimping dies, and cable management components. Both are supplied by 3G Electric but serve different functions: THOMAS for air/gas movement, THOMAS & BETTS for electrical terminations.

Are THOMAS & BETTS crimping dies compatible with all crimping tools?

No. THOMAS & BETTS crimping dies are designed for specific tool frames, such as the TBM6S, TBM6PCR-LI, and TBM62PCR-LI. Each die set (e.g., MPN 15527SS, 15511SS) is marked with a die code and color to match the connector size and material (copper or aluminum). Always verify compatibility with your tool frame before ordering.

What voltage and vacuum specifications does the THOMAS 107CAB18 compressor/vacuum pump have?

The THOMAS 107CAB18 is a 3/64 hp diaphragm combination compressor and vacuum pump. It operates on 115V AC, delivers 0.14 cfm at 30 psi, and achieves a maximum vacuum of 22.1 in Hg. The inlet size is 1/8 in NPT. It is suitable for light-duty pneumatic and vacuum applications.

Can THOMAS & BETTS crimping dies be used for both copper and aluminum connectors?

Yes, many THOMAS & BETTS Color-Keyed crimping dies are rated for both copper and aluminum connectors. For example, the MPN 15527SS die accommodates 6 AWG aluminum, copper, and aluminum connectors. However, some dies are specific to one material (e.g., MPN 15511SS for 4/0 AWG copper and 2/0 AWG aluminum). Check the die's specification for material compatibility.

What is the Color-Keyed system used by THOMAS & BETTS?

The Color-Keyed system is a color-coding method used by THOMAS & BETTS to match crimping dies and connectors. Each die and connector is assigned a color (e.g., gray, yellow, purple, brown) and a die code (e.g., Code 37, Code 15527SS) to ensure correct pairing. This system reduces installation errors by visually indicating the proper die for a given connector size and material.

Does 3G Electric supply THOMAS products?

Yes — 3G Electric (S) Pte. Ltd. supplies THOMAS products. We stock the THOMAS catalog and supply genuine factory-original products with full manufacturer warranty and technical support.
