Spade connectors, also known as spade terminal connectors, are among the most popular connector types to help you effectively and quickly connect electrical and electronic components and devices. This method lets the operator quickly and reliably disconnect electronic components from circuits. Spade Connectors offer tensile strength, resistance to vibration and corrosion, and thermal conductivity. Always use the correct crimp tool positioner for proper and easy installation. Enrgtech offers a wide range of space connectors from some of the most popular brands in the market.
Types of Spade Connectors
There are various spade connectors, each with unique specifications and applications. It is always essential to select the right product for the correct application. These connectors are usually available in the following types:
- Quick Disconnect Terminal
- Flag Terminal
- Quick Disconnect Flag Terminal
- Piggyback Terminal
- Tab Terminal
- Receptacle Terminal
- Butt Splice Terminal
Insulation of Spade Connectors
Insulated crimp terminals are beneficial for preventing electric shocks. They also help keep liquids and other contaminants away from the electrical connection.
Non-insulated crimp terminals help you to inspect the electrical connections quickly. They are perfect for easily disconnecting most of the electrical and electronic equipment.
Applications
Spade connectors are used in machinery, home appliances, electrical equipment, cars, computers, and audio connections (or fast disconnect systems). Other applications include industrial controllers, telecommunication, and computer and peripheral equipment.
