Blade Type Power Connectors - Contacts

Category Introduction

Blade type power connector contacts are machined or stamped out of brass, copper, copper alloy or phosphor bronze to form high reliability male, female and non-gendered crimp or solder terminations. Depending on how often the contacts are separated, gold, silver and tin contact finishes help to reduce wear. Blade contacts are available for wire sizes 1 through 24 AWG.
