FORK SHAPE PREINSULATION TERMINAL

Short Description:

Forked pre-insulated terminal is a common electrical connector widely used in electrical and electronic engineering. Its design features make it efficient, safe and reliable when connecting wires and electrical equipment. The following is a detailed introduction to the fork-shaped pre-insulated terminal:

1. Structure and materials

Fork Design: The front end of the terminal is forked for easy insertion and connection to screws or bolts.

Pre-insulation: The terminal is covered with a layer of insulating material, usually PVC, nylon or heat shrink. This layer of insulation not only provides electrical insulation but also protects against short circuits and electric shock.

Conductive part: Usually made of copper or tinned copper, which has good conductivity and corrosion resistance.

2. Specifications and dimensions

Forked pre-insulated terminals are available in a variety of specifications and sizes to accommodate different wire diameters and current loads. Common specifications include:

- Wire diameter range: 0.5-1.5mm², 1.5-2.5mm², 4-6mm², etc.

- Color coding: Different colors of insulation usually represent different wire diameter ranges, such as red, blue, yellow, etc.

3. Application scenarios

Electrical equipment connection: widely used for internal connections of electrical equipment, such as distribution boxes, control cabinets, etc.

Automotive Industry: Used for the connection of automotive electrical systems to ensure the stability and safety of the circuit.

Household Appliances: Provide reliable connection and insulation protection in the electrical connections of household appliances.

4. Installation and use

Stripping: First, peel off the insulation layer of the wire to an appropriate length to expose the wire.

Insert terminal: Insert the stripped wire into the metal tube of the terminal.

Crimping: Use a special crimping tool to press the terminal tightly to ensure a solid connection between the wire and the terminal.

Connection: Insert the fork-shaped part of the terminal under the screw or bolt, and tighten the screw to complete the connection.

5. Advantages

Easy Installation: The fork-shaped design makes installation and removal very convenient without completely removing the screws.

SAFE AND RELIABLE: The pre-insulation layer provides good electrical insulation, reducing the risk of short circuits and electric shock.

Variety: Multiple specifications and color coding to adapt to different application needs.

6. Precautions

Choose the right size: Choose the right size terminal based on the diameter of the wire and the current load.

Correct crimping: Use appropriate crimping tools to ensure a firm crimp and avoid looseness and poor contact.

Regular Inspection: Regularly check the connection of the terminals during use to ensure its stability and safety.

Fork-shaped pre-insulated terminals have become an important component in electrical connections due to their convenient installation and reliable performance. Proper selection and use of these terminals can greatly improve the safety and reliability of your electrical system.
