Terminals - Quick Connects, Quick Disconnect Connectors

Category Introduction

Quick connect/quick disconnect terminals allow for fast and dependable connection and disconnection of two wires. These single conductor connectors are commonly referred to as FASTON terminals, tab terminals, or blade connectors. They come in a range of different widths, lengths, and wire gauges, and are available uninsulated, partially insulated, or fully insulated. Unlike a lot of electronic components, the color of insulation on these is relevant because it signifies the wire gauge. The terminals can be angled at various degrees, stacked, or multiple other configurations with straight being the standard. There are numerous mounting types and contact finishes for the end user to choose from with these multifunction connectors.
