 QUICK DISCONNECTS |
| This device is a two piece assembly consisting of a
receptacle (female) and a blade (male). The advantage of this Connector is its ease of
connection and disconnection and it is used primarily for applications that require
frequent assembly and disassembly. Because of the friction involved in mating the parts,
brass, because of its wear and spring characteristics, is the material used in both the
blade and receptacle. |
 |
| RING TERMINAL |
| Its main features are safety and reliability since it
cannot be disconnected from the components without completely removing the stud. The stud
applies high contact force across 360 deg. of the closed loop surface, providing
exceptionally low electrical resistance. |
 |
| SPADE TERMINAL |
| With its open end, the Spade Terminal offers an advantage
in the way of reduced assembly time. To make the connection, it is only necessary to
loosen the stud a few turns until the tongue can be slipped under the stud screw head.
Should not be used where severe vibration or stress is present since the screw may become
loose and the tongue will offer little or no resistance to axial pulling forces. |
 |
| FLANGED SPADE TERMINAL |
| This tongue has the basic features of the Spade Terminal
except the ends of the prongs, or tines, have been turned up or flanged. It is safer and
more reliable than the Spade Terminal when subject to vibration or stress, since the stud
has to be loosened more to insert or remove the terminal |
 |
| BUTT CONNECTOR |
| This Connector is used principally to hook up additional
equipment and to repair a line or harness. The wires are inserted into each end of the
barrel and meet at a wire stop in the center. Each end of the Connector is then
crimped to give an in—line connection. |
 |
| PARALLEL CONNECTOR |
| In appearance, the Parallel Connector is similar in shape
to the Butt Connector except much shorter in length. This Connector is widely used where
space is a factor. It is also used where cost and assembly time are considerations. |
 |
| CLOSED-END CONNECTOR |
| This Connector consists of a nylon insulator and a copper
barrel, which is housed, in one end of the insulator. The open end of the insulator is
flared to accommodate the insulation of the stripped wire. It will accommodate a wide
range of wire sizes. Combinations and a single crimp will give a strong and reliable
splice. |
