Terminals

Electrical Terminals

Electrical terminals are essential for linking circuits within an electrical system, transferring electricity from a power source to devices. Typically grouped on a terminal block, these terminals come in various designs but share a modular, insulated housing for wire termination. Terminals are attached to stripped wire ends through crimping or soldering. Crimping, the most common method, compresses the terminal onto the wire using a crimping tool, creating a seamless connection. Unlike splice connectors, which involve multiple conductors, terminals have a single conductor and mechanical connection.

Electrical Terminals Applications

When choosing an electrical terminal for a wiring application, it is important to be mindful of both the connection requirements and environmental conditions of your application. Understanding the various types of terminals available and their ideal uses is critical for making the proper selection. The most common terminal designs include:
