160018-1

Terminal rings are a type of electrical connection component with wide applicability and often seen in various applications. Here, we are looking closer at the type 160018-1 terminal ring and its connection methodology and principle of operation.

Application Field

Terminal rings are made of copper alloy with tin-plated connector and insulation require good contact and melting temperatures. It is perfect versatile components for making connections between various types of electrical machinery and appliances. This specific type of terminal ring has been designed for high-performance applications which require good resistance to corrosion and vibration. The environment friendly and safe terminal ring 1600018-1 is a slim and light weighing connector compatible with most circuitry and high-temperature sensor applications. Further, it is suitable for interior and exterior use and it is approved by the UL and RoHS standards for wire joining.

Working Principle

This specific type of terminal ring is equipped with separate entries for stranded and solid wires. The strands of the strands need to be properly inserted and positioned in labels for making the secure connection. The large distance between contacts requires the terminal to have a high insulation property which is achieved by using of epoxy material. It also means that during high and fluctuating loads, the epoxy material contracts and shrinks resulting in the reliability of the connection. It also helps to minimize the heat build-up caused by the electrical resistance in the terminal. The advantage of the terminal is that it is simple to use and the terminals can be re-used or even replaced whilst keeping the main structure of the circuitry untouched.

Conclusion

The 160018-1 is a type of terminal ring designed for applications requiring good connection and corrosion resistance. It is suitable for most electronics and sensor applications and is approved by UL and RoHS. Further, the terminal is equipped with separate entries for stranded and solid wires and the epoxy material offers superior insulation and reliability. The terminal’s slim and light weight design and easy to use assembly makes it suitable for many kinds of applications.
