• UL recognised component. RS Pro Insulated Crimp Receptacle Wire Terminals. From RS PRO a high-quality fully insulated crimp receptacle terminal sometimes known as a quick disconnect connector. Female crimp receptacles are a type of electrical wiring connector which, when mated with a male tab connector (or male quick disconnect), provide a fast and reliable interconnect between two wires. The funnel entry of this connector assists with wire insertion, for a quicker and easy termination. The body of the connector is made from tin plated brass and features an additional internal copper sleeve. This copper sleeve strengthens the barrel and provides a robust and secure crimp. The sleeve also protects the wire against stress and high vibration. This crimp receptacle features a polycarbonate insulation sleeve which further protects the wire connection to the connector. Features and Benefits Provides quick and easy connection and disconnection Fully insulated for protection against electrical shock and shorting from exposed leads. Also provides protection to the electrical connection Double crimp design with an internal copper sleeve for added strength and robust crimp joint Tin plating for resistance to corrosion, added strength and excellent conductivity Colour coded insulation for easy identification of terminal size Funnelled insulation design allows easy wire insertion Applications Industrial control systems Industrial machines Automotive applications Communication equipment Power supplies HVAC Domestic appliances including dishwashers, washing machines and dryers FAQs Q: How Do I Select the Correct Connector Size? A: When selecting the right terminal for your application, you should consider the following: The wire size 'mm' (metric) or 'AWG' (American Wire Gauge) you are using The tab size to which you will be connecting the ring terminal. The width of the receptacle has to match the width of the tab it is mating with and vice versa. The width is usually shown as a series name in inches, the most common ones being .110 (2.8mm), .187(4.8mm), .205(5.2mm), .250 (6.3mm), .375 (9.5mm). The thickness of the tabs can also vary and are usually 0.51 or 0.81mm Q: How to Crimp a Receptacle Connector? A: Strip the *** of the wire and cut it to the same length as the terminal. Insert the stripped *** into the barrel making sure no bare wire is visible. The connector is then ready to be crimped on to the *** of the wire. Pliers or a ratchet tool can be ***d but, for a better quality crimp, it is better to *** a ratchet crimping tool. A ratchet crimping tool is preferable as the handles will remain locked until a full crimp cycle is completed which will prevent partial crimps. Insert the barrel of the receptacle terminal into the appropriate crimping section (indicated by sizes marked on the tool). Squeeze the tool handles together until the ratchet releases. The crimped receptacle terminal is now ready for mating with a male tab terminal to form a secure electrical connection. Q: How Does a Female Crimp Connector Work? A: The female connector or receptacle is crimped onto the *** of the stranded electrical wire using the appropriate tooling, no solder is required. The male tab or blade connector on the opposing wire simply slots into the opening on the *** of the receptacle to form a secure and reliable electrical connection. Why RS Pro?
