John, " ...so I guess you meant to ask a different question" Well, no (I am interested in what the acronyms might mean) and yes (given my wording was not effective).
I want to more clearly understand what the use limits are for the various types. I have a suspicion they are intended to connect to terminal on certain device types or are intended for use in certain voltage or current regimes. Particularly, the company rejects the use of "PG-Type" ring-lugs (with insulation apparently intended to cover the conductor crimp part and then also crimp over the insulation part of the wire separately), but prefers the use of "R-Type" and "CB-Type" ring-lugs which are both un-insulated. Their spec in general is ambiguous and I am hoping that understanding the codes might bring more insight into their underlying concerns. >From responses so far it looks like these must be custom internal codes rather >than common designations.
