What is a terminal connector? What kinds are there?
A terminal connector is a device for connecting wires that connects multiple wires together and provides them with power or a signal. Terminal connectors are widely used in various electronic equipment, electrical equipment, instrumentation, automatic control systems and other fields. There are many types of terminal connectors, and we will introduce them in detail below.
1. Screw terminal connector.
Screw terminal connector, also known as screw terminal connector, is the most common type of terminal connector. It uses a threaded design, the wire is wound in the wiring hole, and by tightening the screw to clamp the wire, so that the connection is achieved. Screw terminal connectors are suitable for most electrical and terminal equipment and can withstand large currents and voltages.
2, spring type terminal connector.
The spring terminal connector is also called the plug-and-pull terminal connector, which uses the spring clamp design to insert the wire into the wiring hole and clamp the wire through the force of the spring to realize the connection. The spring type terminal connector has the advantages of easy insertion and removal, reliable connection, etc., and is suitable for frequent disassembly and installation.
3, prefabricated terminal connector.
The assembled terminal connector is also called the plate terminal connector, which is usually composed of a patch board and a plurality of terminal terminals. The wire is connected to the patch board through the terminal, and then fixed by screws or spring clamping. Prefabricated terminal connectors are widely used in electrical control cabinets, switch boxes, transformers and other large equipment, with the advantages of easy installation and reliable connection.
4. Built-in terminal connector.
The built-in terminal connector, also known as the plug-in terminal connector, is usually installed inside the device, has a smaller volume and occupies space, and is suitable for occasions where space needs to be saved. There are many types of built-in terminal connectors, including PCB built-in, rail built-in, plug-in, etc., which can meet the needs of different occasions.
