Automotive Connector Terminals

Automotive connector terminals are robust wire connectors designed to enable functional cable connections for multiple wires. These terminals are made to withstand high thermal influences and are vibration resistant. They are used across various automotive industries to employ secure application mechanisms. Furthermore, these terminals provide a reliable connection with splendid flexibility features. In addition, they are comprised of highly standardised terminals for making qualitative connections and are made from durable material finishes.

Termination Types of Automotive Connector Terminals

These terminal blocks adopt various termination methods for wire connections, such as:

• Screw clamps- They also work by following the spring clamp working principle that uses the pressure to place the wires in positions; however, they are more efficient in achieving more significant clamping pressure due to tightening the clamp using a screw. This is the most classical method of most industry standard electrical connection termination methods, with a reliable connection of many wire sizes. 
• Spring clamps- ideal for connections where working space is limited, they retain the wires in place by simply using the spring’s pressure. 
• IDC (Insulation Displacement Connections)- This is the convenient and straightforward connection method with a push of a wire between two sharp metal pieces to break the exterior sheaths that carry it without exposure to bare wires.

What are the Typical Applications of Automotive Connector Terminals?

These crucial connector terminals have a great range of applications in commercial and industrial environments. This range of connector terminals can operate at high and low voltages for connecting fuses, vehicle sensors, or battery terminals. In addition, terminal kits are the best solution to provide various terminal sizes to ensure the requirements for small or big projects.
