CONNECTING TERMINALS

Connecting terminals, also known as wire terminals or electrical connectors, are devices used to establish electrical connections between wires or conductors. Here is a description of connecting terminals:

Types of Terminals: There are various types of connecting terminals available, each designed for specific applications. Some common types include:

a. Wire nuts: Wire nuts are twist-on connectors with an insulating cap that securely connects multiple wires together. They are commonly used in residential electrical wiring.

b. Crimp connectors: Crimp connectors are metal sleeves or barrels that are crimped onto the stripped ends of wires using a crimping tool. They provide a reliable and secure connection and are commonly used in automotive and industrial applications.

c. Spade terminals: Spade terminals have a flat, fork-like shape that allows them to be easily inserted into a corresponding terminal block or screw terminal. They are commonly used in applications where frequent connections and disconnections are required.
