Puristuspäätteistä

Puristuspäätteistä, also known as crimp terminals or compression connectors, are electrical connectors used to join two or more electrical conductors together. They are typically made of metal, such as copper or aluminum, and are designed to be compressed onto the conductors using a specialized crimping tool. This compression creates a secure and electrically conductive connection.

The primary function of a puristuspääte is to provide a reliable and durable method for connecting wires, especially in situations where soldering might be impractical or undesirable. They are commonly used in automotive, industrial, and telecommunications applications. The crimping process deforms both the terminal and the conductors, ensuring good mechanical strength and low electrical resistance.

There are various types of puristuspäätteistä, differing in shape, size, and the number of conductors they can accommodate. Common forms include ring terminals, spade terminals, bullet connectors, and butt connectors. Each type is designed for specific applications and connection requirements. The selection of the appropriate puristuspääte and the correct crimping tool is crucial for ensuring a safe and effective electrical connection. Proper crimping technique minimizes the risk of loose connections, short circuits, and potential fire hazards.
