How terminal connectors work

Terminal connector is a widely used connection device in the electronic industry, which has a wide variety of types, including row of pins, snap type and pin type three basic structure types, of which the pin type is the most common.

Terminal connectors are mainly connected to wires or cables by crimping, threading, welding and other means. It consists of two or more metal terminals, mainly used to facilitate the connection of wires and improve production efficiency. Common connection methods of terminal connectors include the following:

1. Crimping: achieved by pressing the metal terminal into the parent body or plastic shell. This method is relatively simple, easy to operate, and suitable for occasions that require frequent disassembly.

2. Threaded connection: This is achieved by threading the metal terminal to the parent body or plastic housing. This method is suitable for the occasions that need to be frequently disassembled, but it should be noted that the strength of the threaded connection is not as strong as the crimping.

3. Welding: This is achieved by connecting the metal terminals to the parent body or plastic shell by welding. This method has the highest connection strength, but requires professional welding equipment and technology.

Terminal connectors work by inserting the end of the wire or cable into the socket of the terminal connector, and then connecting the terminal to the parent body or plastic shell by crimping, threading, welding, etc., so as to realise the connection of wires or cables.

With the advantages of being easy to install and remove, providing reliable electrical connections and high strength connections, terminal connectors are widely used in electronic equipment, home appliances, automotive electronics and other fields. In modern production processes, the use of terminal connectors can greatly improve productivity and reduce errors and failures in the production process.

In general, the terminal connector is a very important electronic connection device, its working principle is simple and easy to operate, but it is necessary to pay attention to the use of terminal connectors, you need to choose the appropriate connection method and terminal connector according to the specific circumstances to ensure the reliability and stability of the connection.
