Fjærklemmeterminaler

Fjærklemmeterminaler, also known as spring clamp terminals or push-in connectors, are a type of electrical connector used to join wires together. They are characterized by their spring-loaded clamping mechanism, which eliminates the need for screws or tools to secure the wire. This mechanism typically involves a small lever or opening that is pressed to insert the stripped end of a conductor. When the lever is released or the wire is pushed in fully, the spring exerts pressure, creating a secure electrical connection.

These terminals are commonly found in applications where quick and reliable connections are important, such as in lighting fixtures, appliances, and control systems. Their primary advantage lies in their ease of use and speed of installation, which can significantly reduce assembly time. They are also known for their vibration resistance, as the spring action helps maintain consistent contact pressure even when subjected to movement or vibration.

Fjærklemmeterminaler are available in various configurations to accommodate different wire sizes and numbers of connections. They can be used for solid or stranded conductors, although some designs are optimized for one type over the other. The housing of these terminals is typically made from insulating plastic materials to ensure electrical safety. The internal clamping elements are usually made of metal alloys that provide good conductivity and corrosion resistance. Their widespread adoption in modern electrical installations is a testament to their efficiency and reliability.
