The terminals’s types and shapes

Terminal(Contacts) Shapes and Styles   What is the reel and loose piece terminals ? Reel and Loose piece terminals Figure 1 shows loose piece and strip female crimp terminals. Both are crimp terminals. Loose piece terminals connect to a single interface point, prioritizing stability and reliability. Strip terminals come in a series or reel for multiple connections, emphasizing crimping efficiency. Both use mechanical crimping, securing the wire conductor within the terminal for a safe and stable electrical connection. Crimping requires specific wire sizes and stripping lengths. Proper crimp height and wire placement within the terminal are crucial. The loose piece terminal fits 20-24AWG wire; the strip terminal fits 14-18AWG. Both are used in automotive, connector, and wire harness applications.   Figure 2 illustrates various terminals, including ring, spade, U-shaped, pin, ferrule, and blade terminals. These are available with or without insulation. They are connected by insertion and crimping or soldering and crimping, using tools like crimpers or hammers. The applicable wire gauge depends on the terminal size. These are used in automotive, aerospace, and industrial electronics. Blind crimping terminals   What are Blind crimping terminals ? Blind crimping terminals are crimping unvisible to see the terminal positon ,  it is a hose crimping postion, you need to positrack the tab while insert wire insulation into the hose, then crimping. It is metal connectors commonly used for electrical connections. Typically made of aluminum or copper, often with an insulating boot, they join wires and conductors through crimping or soldering, enabling current and signal transmission. These terminals are available as insulated or non-insulated (bare) versions, catering to various current ratings and applications. The choice of terminal type depends on the specific needs of the application and the operating environment. Blind crimping terminals offer ease of installation and reliable performance, making them widely...
