puristusliitäntä

Puristusliitäntä refers to a type of electrical connector that creates a secure connection by deforming one or both of the mating parts through the application of pressure. This method is distinct from screw terminals or soldering. The deformation permanently joins the conductors, resulting in a low-resistance electrical path. This type of connection is often used in applications where vibration is a concern, as it provides a robust and reliable joint that is less likely to loosen over time.

The process of creating a puristusliitäntä typically involves specialized tools, such as crimpers or presses, which apply controlled force to the connector and the conductor. The connector itself is designed with specific features that allow for this deformation and encapsulation of the conductor. Common examples include ring terminals, spade terminals, and various types of splices and wire connectors. The material of the connector is chosen for its conductivity and its ability to deform without fracturing.

Puristusliitäntä is widely employed across various industries, including automotive, telecommunications, and industrial automation, due to its efficiency and reliability. It is often preferred over other connection methods when long-term stability and resistance to environmental factors are critical. The quality of the connection is heavily dependent on using the correct connector for the wire gauge and the appropriate tooling for the crimping process.
