Terminals - Rectangular Connectors

Category Introduction

Rectangular connectors or rectangular terminals are commonly found in grounding applications. These single conductor connectors are similar to ring connectors as they crimp onto a wire and mate with a stud. They are available in a variety of wire gauges including 26 AWG up to 0 AWG. These terminals come in a variety of styles such as: grounding lug, rectangular tongue, ring, tubular ring, wire terminal, and standard. They can be insulated or non-insulated and come in a variety of widths and lengths.

About Terminals - Rectangular Connectors

What are Terminals - Rectangular Connectors?

Terminals - Rectangular Connectors

Terminals - Rectangular Connectors are essential components in the realm of electrical and electronic interconnections. They serve as the interface for connecting wires or cables to electronic devices, ensuring a secure and reliable transmission of electrical signals. These connectors are characterized by their rectangular shape, which allows for a compact and organized arrangement of multiple pins or sockets. The basic operating principle involves the insertion of a male connector (plug) into a female connector (socket), establishing an electrical connection through conductive metal contacts. This design facilitates easy assembly and disassembly, making them ideal for applications requiring frequent connections and disconnections.

Types of Terminals - Rectangular Connectors

1. Board-to-Board Connectors

Board-to-board connectors are used to connect two printed circuit boards (PCBs) together. They are designed to handle high-density connections and are often used in compact electronic devices. Their key characteristics include high pin count, small pitch, and robust mechanical stability.

2. Wire-to-Board Connectors

Wire-to-board connectors facilitate the connection between a wire or cable and a PCB. These connectors are commonly used in applications where wires need to be connected to a circuit board, providing a secure and reliable connection. They are available in various configurations, including single-row and dual-row designs.

3. Wire-to-Wire Connectors

Wire-to-wire connectors are designed to connect two wires together. They are often used in automotive and industrial applications where robust and durable connections are required. These connectors can handle high current loads and are available in both sealed and unsealed versions to suit different environmental conditions.

4. IDC Connectors

Insulation Displacement Connectors (IDC) are used to connect flat ribbon cables to PCBs or other components. They are known for their quick and easy installation, as they do not require stripping of the wire insulation. IDC connectors are widely used in computer and telecommunications equipment.

How to choose Terminals - Rectangular Connectors?

When selecting Terminals - Rectangular Connectors, several key parameters should be considered:

  • Current and Voltage Ratings: Ensure the connector can handle the electrical load of your application.
  • Pin Count and Pitch: Choose based on the number of connections needed and the available space.
  • Material and Plating: Consider the materials used for contacts and housing, as they affect conductivity and durability.
  • Environmental Resistance: Evaluate the connector's ability to withstand environmental factors such as moisture, temperature, and vibration.
  • Ease of Installation: Consider connectors that offer easy assembly and disassembly, especially for applications requiring frequent maintenance.

To evaluate product quality and reliability, review supplier certifications, customer reviews, and product testing data. Consider environmental factors such as exposure to harsh conditions and installation requirements like space constraints and accessibility.
