Insulated crimp terminals

Insulated crimp terminals are widely used in various sectors, including electrical engineering, industrial automation, automotive, and the maritime industry. They are used to connect cables to equipment, switches, distribution panels, and other electrical components. The insulation makes them suitable for applications where safety and protection against electric shocks are essential.

Our insulated crimp terminals are made from high-quality materials that ensure a reliable and durable connection. The conductor is made from copper, providing excellent electrical conductivity. The insulating casing is typically made from PVC or nylon, known for its strength, durability, and resistance to chemicals and high temperatures. These materials meet the relevant standards and certifications, ensuring the quality and safety of the products.

The installation of insulated crimp terminals requires stripping the cable to expose the conductor. The cable is then inserted into the terminal lug, and the connection is made by crimping the casing. A crimping tool is used to securely attach the terminal lug to the conductor. It is important to choose the correct size terminal lug that fits the cable thickness and the application.

The technical specifications of insulated crimp terminals vary depending on the type and size. They are available in different colors (red, yellow, and blue), corresponding to specific cable cross-sections:

• Red: suitable for cable cross-sections of 0.5 to 1.5 mm² (AWG 22-16)
• Yellow: suitable for cable cross-sections of 1.5 to 2.5 mm² (AWG 16-14)
• Blue: suitable for cable cross-sections of 2.5 to 4 mm² (AWG 14-12)

The insulating casing is designed to provide good protection against mechanical influences and to ensure reliable electrical insulation. Additionally, the crimp terminals are resistant to a wide temperature range, making them suitable for various environments.

Our range includes a wide variety of insulated crimp terminals, including ring terminals, spade terminals, pin terminals, and butt connectors. These are available in different sizes and colors, depending on the cable cross-section and type of connection. The crimp terminals are supplied in convenient packaging units, ranging from 100 to 1000 pieces, ensuring efficient stock management and cost savings for large-scale applications.

The use of insulated crimp terminals offers several advantages:

• Safety: the insulating casing prevents electric shocks and short circuits
• Reliability: they ensure a strong and durable connection
• Versatility: available in various sizes and colors, suitable for different applications
• Easy installation: easy to install using the appropriate tools
• Cost savings: packaged units ensure efficient stock management

These benefits make insulated crimp terminals an essential component in electrical installations, where safety and reliability are paramount.

In addition to insulated crimp terminals, WKK also supplies uninsulated crimp terminals. The difference between insulated and uninsulated crimp terminals is that uninsulated crimp terminals have a completely open connector. You choose uninsulated crimp terminals when there is no danger that the connection can be touched.
