When Using Cold Press Terminals, You Need To Pay Attention To These Details!
 

When using cold press terminals, you need to pay attention to these details! Today the editor of terminal manufacturers mainly introduces the precautions when using cold press terminals. First of all, we should be familiar with the method of operating the cold-pressed terminal. When terminating the cold-pressed terminal, we need to check strictly in accordance with the required standards before making the termination. When terminating, we must correspond to the node number and the selected cable wire. In the medium, the thickness of the large insulating layer needs to be consistent with the distance between the workpieces, and the terminal of the workpiece needs to match the core of the cable.

 

When soldering cold press terminals, you need to choose a suitable electric soldering iron. Then you can choose the electric soldering iron with matching power according to the diameter of the bare wire. Under normal circumstances, the actual welding time of each workpiece will not exceed five seconds. Be careful not to let the flux flow into the insulator, otherwise it will cause the insulation resistance of the workpiece to drop.

 

When the cooling terminal is separated, you need to take dust-proof measures for it. If the cold-pressed terminal does not separate for a long time after connection, you need to add a fuse between the socket and the plug. When the cold-pressed terminal needs to be cleaned after the operation is completed, use a silk cloth dipped in absolute ethanol to scrub the cold terminal. It is forbidden to use chemical cleaning agents such as acetone to avoid damage to the connector. You can use it after cleaning and drying. 

 

Installation And Use Of Cold Press Terminals

 

 

Cold press terminals are a kind of electrical wiring components, which are widely used and appear in computer cases, automotive electronic systems, air-conditioning controllers and other products. Its main function is to connect fixed cables to protect the connection from moisture and dust.

 

Cold press terminals have good insulation properties and can effectively prevent short circuits from occurring. In addition, it also has good heat resistance, can be used in high temperature environments, and is not prone to thermal deformation. The shell of the cold-press terminal is made of high-quality thermoplastic material, which has corrosion resistance and durability, is not easy to be damaged, and can be used for a long time. It can be divided into terminal blocks and connector terminals. There are various styles of terminal blocks, which can be selected according to different usage environments. There are also various styles of connector terminals, such as plug-in type and pull-out type. First, check the quality of the terminals and wires, then place the terminals on the ground wire, insert the wires into the slots of the terminals, and then use a cold pressing tool to press the terminals to ensure the firmness of the terminals.

 

When installing cold press terminals, it is necessary to check the quality of the cables to ensure that the cables are not damaged to avoid short circuits. In addition, the installation process of the cold-pressed terminal is also very important. The terminal should be firmly fixed to the ground wire, and the correct cold-pressed tool should be used to press the terminal to ensure its firmness. The application field is very wide. It is often used in the wiring of electronic equipment, automotive electronic systems, air-conditioning controllers and other products. It is used to fix cables and protect the connections from moisture and dust.

 

The above is the relevant knowledge about cold press terminals. It has good insulation performance and heat resistance, can be used in high temperature environments, and has good corrosion resistance and durability, and is widely used. When installing cold press terminals, it is necessary to check the quality of the cables to ensure that the cables are not damaged, and to use the correct cold-pressed tools to press the terminals to ensure their firmness.

 

Cold-pressed terminal is a kind of connector for electrical equipment. With its characteristics and methods of use, it can be combined with the installation of cables and electrical appliances to make the operation of electrical equipment more stable and reliable. According to different needs, the types of cold press terminals will also vary. In general, cold press terminals can be divided into single-row and double-row types, and can also be divided into heat-shrinkable, riveting, hook, stop, and detachable types.

 

The use and installation of cold press terminals are relatively simple. As long as the above steps are followed, the use effect of cold press terminals can be guaranteed. But sometimes due to human reasons, improper installation can also cause damage to the cold press terminals, so special attention should be paid during installation.

1) Learn About Different Types of Cold Press Terminals and Their Uses:Based on the shape, size, and functionalities, there are various types of cold press terminals. Here are some of them.


Ring terminals: They have a ring shaped structure which is used to mount the wires and connect the circuits on the circular flat surface. These are generally used for wires of 10-22 AWG gauge.


Spade terminals: These terminals resemble a spade or fork and have pretty sharp ends which make it easy to screw the wires. You need to aware of the wire amperage required for your application before choosing the terminal.


Disconnect terminals: There are male and female disconnects which have different types of insulation materials.


Butt splice connectors: These are used to connect end wires to make the network seamless. They are also used create a new connection or fix one between two wires.


Snap Plugs: These terminals are distinguished by their round tabs that takes less space than quick-disconnect terminals with flat tabs. You can select from nylon and vinyl insulated snap plugs for your application.


Piggyback Disconnects: These disconnects are designed to make multiple connections, especially when the number of male tabs are limited.


Tap Splices/Quick Splicers: These cold press terminals are used to connect the wires of the same wire gauge. Quick splicers/tap splices can be used for an existing wire or a wire with a clean cut on the other end.


Closed End/Pigtail Connectors: The terminals are used to connect two or more wires. They feature a closed end, you can easily crimp on the wire connector to produce secured electrical connection points.


All the above mentioned types of terminals are distinguished into two types – Insulated and non-insulated. The insulated terminals feature an insulating cover, which protects the wire beneath from moisture, water, cold, and heat. This wire insulation is usually available as nylon, vinyl, and heat shrink. Among these, the heat shrink terminals are heat shrink insulated, which makes the wires and connections durable, safe, and free from corrosion and other parameters. Heat shrink terminals can be all the above types. These are commonly used in outdoor and other harsh operating environments.

 

2) Choose the Right Style of Male and Female Terminals: The male terminals are generally the blade side terminals, which are used to connect to T-taps, female spades, and so on. Sometimes, they can be used to replace any plug in a pinch. The female terminals are the socket side terminals, which are commonly used for connecting wires and components.

 

3) Use the Right Size of Terminal: Always choose the correct size cold press terminals for the application. You must match them with the size and shape of the mechanical connector, as well as the gauge/size of the wire being terminated. For instance, you might need to use an 12-10 gauge wire with the ¼ " stud-type hole.


The insulated terminals are usually identified with the color codes which depict the range of sizes. For instance, the red insulated cold press terminals may be used in sizes from 22 to 18 gauge, blue for wires from 16 to 14 gauge, yellow for wires from 12 to 10 gauge, and so on.

 

How To Judge The Quality Of Cold Press Terminals

 

 

Can be judged from the price, his price is lower than the market price, then needless to say.

Look at the copper material at the end of the cold press, although it can not be seen clearly at the time of purchase, but it is crucial for the socket. The easiest way to judge is to use a plug to try out whether the insertion force is moderate, and then rub it with your hand, whether the socket is really a bit heavy. You can try it with a magnet, is it a ferroalloy or iron-steel plated copper?

To see their cold-pressed end insulation materials, Insulation is very important for the safety of switch sockets, but it is difficult for ordinary consumers to judge. It is best to do a combustion test on the core components when purchasing. If there is no condition, the appearance is poor. It is very light in the hand, there is no feeling of pressure, it is easy to have scratches. Good materials generally have a relatively hard texture and are difficult to scratch. The structure is tight after molding and the weight is heavy. Good resin material, flame retardant, arc resistant, heat resistant and hard.

When you do not have the above experience, you can choose the brand or the cold-pressed end products of the brand enterpris.

 

 
 
How to Choose Cold Press Terminals

With the globalization of enterprises, cold press terminals need to design systems that can be sold globally, so system design employees are increasingly using power terminal block products produced in other countries. Since Europe uses a nominal value measurement method, it is common practice in Europe for equipment to be designed with a lower value than the nominal value. However, many American design employees do not understand this concept. If they do not understand the differences between various standards, they will have many difficulties in the design process.

 

Electronic component engineers should know that product termination skills are very important when selecting electronic components. Used to connect cold press terminals.There are many different types of pins that connect to the circuit board. Some companies only offer single-pin models, others offer multi-pin products. The advantage of multi-pin products is that it distributes the current more evenly into the circuit board traces, provides more reliable mechanical stability and improves the robustness of the soldering. This requires buyers to choose at their own discretion.

Asked Questions
 

Q: What is the difference between a cold press terminals and a connector?

A: The cold press terminals is part of the connector. Connector is a general term. In fact, the milspec connectors we commonly see usually include housing and terminal. The housing is mostly plastic, which plays a protective role, and the terminal is a metal, which plays a conductive role.

Q: What is a cold press terminalsconnection?

A: A cold press terminals is the point at which a conductor from a component, device or network comes to an end. Terminal may also refer to an electrical connector at this endpoint, acting as the reusable interface to a conductor and creating a point where external circuits can be connected.

Q: How do cold press terminals work?

A: Screw terminal or screw type terminal blocks contain a screw that when tightened closes a clamp to secure the wire against the conductor. Push buttons function simply by pushing a button that opens a clamp to allow insertion of the wire and then closes the clamp on the wire once the button is released.

A: Ring Terminals.
Spades & Forks.
Splices.
Closed End Connectors.
Disconnects.
Specialty Terminals.
Economy Terminals.
High Temperature Terminals.

Q: What is the difference between open barrel and closed barrel terminals?

A: Open barrel crimp terminals feature an open barrel, while a closed barrel crimp terminal's barrel is closed. Open barrel terminals use a crimping tool that makes an F or B-type crimping style, while closed barrel terminals use a crimping tool that creates a hexagon or oval crimping style.

Q: What is cold press terminals

A: A cold press terminals is the point at which a conductor from a component, device or network comes to an end. Terminal may also refer to an electrical connector at this endpoint, acting as the reusable interface to a conductor and creating a point where external circuits can be connected.

Q: How do you crimp terminal wires?

A: Place the crimp terminal with the wire end into the crimping tool, making sure that the cold press terminals is correctly positioned in the crimping die. Apply pressure on the crimping tool handles to compress the crimping die, which in turn compresses the barrel around the wire to create a secure connection.

Q: Why would you use a cold press terminalsinstead of a soldered terminal?

A: What are the advantages of using crimped wires over soldered wires in electrical connections? They are faster and cheaper. And for many uses, equally reliable.

Q: Can you crimp cold press terminals with pliers?

A: No, you can't crimp with pliers, because they won't create the proper cold weld connection that a crimping tool will. A poor crimp can result in air and moisture getting inside the connection, which can lead the connection to fail. Instead, invest in a specialist crimping tool.

Q: What is a major advantage of the cold press terminals over the soldered terminal?

A: Crimping does not require heat or solder, but it does require the right size and type of crimp and crimper for the wires. Crimping creates a fast and easy connection between the wires, but it can also loosen or corrode over time if not done properly.

Q: What are the major applications of cold press terminals in the market?

A: The major applications of cold-pressed terminals in the market include automotive, electrical, and electronics industries.

Q: What are the different types of cold press terminals available in the market?

A: The different types of cold press terminals available in the market include ring terminals, spade terminals, and butt connectors.

Q: How to select cold press terminals?

A: With the enterprise globalization, cold press terminals need to design can be in global sales system, so the system design staff to use in other countries is more and more often produces power terminal products. Because Europe using nominal value measurement method, so the device is lower than the nominal value to use in the design is common practice in Europe.

Q: How to crimp a cold press terminals on a wire?

A: For cold press terminals, hold the tool perpendicular to the cold press terminals and over the barrel—closer to the ring than the wire insulation. Hold the crimper steady and squeeze the handles with a considerable amount of force. Don't worry about applying too much pressure—it's nearly impossible to "over crimp."

Q: Can you crimp a cold press terminals on solid wire?

A: Crimping of solid wire, component leads, or stranded wire that has been solder-tinned, is prohibited. General requirements (cont.) the wire ends shall be visible. The conductor should extend a minimum of even with, and a maximum of one wire diameter beyond, the conductor crimp edge.

Q: What is the most traditional crimping method?

A: Hexagonal crimping is the most common crimping profile for cable lugs and connectors of aluminum and copper wires. Indent crimping produces a durable, deep-penetrating connection for aluminum and copper.

Q: What is the crimp termination method?

A: Crimping is a technique that uses specific tools to compress the metal contact around a wire and/or the wire insulation to achieve a symmetrical electrical connection. This is done before inserting the contacts with attached wires into the connector housing.

Q: How do you connect terminal blocks to wires?

A: If you're using a screw terminal block, tighten the screw over each wire until it's firmly held in place. For spring terminal blocks, the wire will automatically be secured upon insertion. Remember, the connection should be firm, but be careful not to over-tighten and damage the wire.

Q: Should you tin wires before crimping?

A: The reasoning behind not tinning the wire is, if the wire is tinned, when the screw closes down on the wire, it would break the solder joint and leave an opening within the strands, which can be susceptible to vibration, loosening and corrosion. By not tinning the wire, you can get a better gas tight joint.

Q: How many types of cold press terminals are there?

A: Terminals come into three major categories: General cargo. Unitized cargo that can be carried in batches and handled by three specialized terminal types; break-bulk terminals, neo-bulk terminals (e.g. car terminals), and container terminals.
