Connectors vs Terminals
Connectors and terminals have very similar functions and are often used interchangeably. However, when assembling an electrical system, it’s important to understand the fundamental differences between the two.
- Connectors are usually plastic components that are classified by their gender (male or female). These parts can be snapped together or mounted onto an electrical system to create a connection.
- Terminals, on the other hand, are metal accessories that are attached to the end of a cable or wire and are used for connecting and/or disconnecting. Terminals can be insulated or non-insulated and must be installed using special tools.contact-us
Selecting the Right Connector for Your Application
Our connectors are manufactured using high quality plastic materials, including nylon, vinyl, and eco-friendly polycarbonate. We also supply an extensive selection of crimping tools to accompany your purchase. If you are unsure which product will work best with your requirements, contact us, and we will assist you.
Easy Lock Connectors
Also referred to as quick lock connectors, easy lock connectors are designed to grip a wire at two places to provide a secure connection. Our quick lock connectors are available in a variety of styles and diameters, including switch connectors and options for high temperature applications.
Insulation Displacement Connectors (IDC)
Insulation displacement connectors are used to form a connection between stranded wires and solid wires. These connectors are made from eco-friendly polycarbonate material and can be easily installed using pliers.
Push-In Wire Connectors
Push-in wire connectors are installed by inserting a wire into one of the holes of the connector and locking it into place. These connectors come with a release feature that allows you to easily reassemble the system at any time. We offer a variety of quick-lock push-in connectors as well as plier tap connectors for creating splice connections.
Plug Joint Connectors
Plug joint connectors are especially efficient for wiring applications in prefabricated buildings, as the wires are typically already installed when the wall, floor, or roof is made in the factory. These connectors can be easily connected, rewired, and reused without the need for an electrician.
Ferrules
Ferrules are rings that are used to reinforce a wire or bind two or more wires together. These components can also protect wires and cables from damage caused by excessive strain. We offer single wire ferrules as well as twin wire ferrules.
