Crimp Terminals
Crimp terminals join a wire to a stud, tab or another wire without soldering. A proper crimp holds better than twisting and taping, and it will not vibrate loose. Ours are insulated with tinned copper contacts and come in packs of 50.
Terminals are colour coded by wire size: red for 3mm wire, blue for 4mm and yellow for 5mm, so you can pick the right one without measuring.
Types
| Type | What it connects to |
|---|---|
| Ring terminals (eyelets) | A bolt or stud, 4mm to 10mm. The ring cannot slip off |
| Fork terminals | A stud or screw, 4mm to 8mm. It slides on without removing the screw |
| Male blade terminals | 6.4mm female blade connectors |
| Fully insulated female blades | 6.4mm spade tabs on switches and accessories, fully covered |
| Female blade terminals | 6.4mm spade tabs |
| Piggy back blades | Two connections on one 6.4mm tab |
| Male bullets and female bullets | Each other, for a plug-and-unplug join |
| Wire joiners and heat shrink joiners | Another wire, end to end |
| Scotchlox connectors | An existing wire, for a quick tap-in join |
Crimping tips
Strip just enough insulation for the wire to reach the end of the barrel, then crimp with a ratchet crimping tool so every join gets the same pressure. For joins exposed to water, finish them with dual wall heat shrink.
