Terminals - Quick Connects, Quick Disconnect Connectors - Application Field and Working Principle

Terminal quick connects, with quick disconnect connectors, provide an easy, reliable and robust method of electrical connection for applications ranging from simple to complex ones. This article takes a look at the application field and working principle of these terminal quick connects with disconnect connectors.

Application Field

Terminal quick connects are widely used in the Industrial, Automotive, Agricultural, Aviation, Marine and Commercial applications. Their applications include but not limited to Robot Assembly Lines, Automated Packaging Lines, Automotive Electric Control Systems, Solar Power Systems, Power Tools, Renewable Energy Systems, Garden Lights and many more.

Specifically, in automotive applications, these terminal quick connects are more efficient compared with the traditional crimped terminals. During vehicle maintenance, just undoing the quick disconnect connector is enough to gain immediate access to the vehicle\'s wiring system. Interior lights, gauges, sensors and pins can all be quickly checked and replaced without the need of any tools. And quick disconnects in automotive applications are cost-effective and time-saving too.

In Robotics, terminal quick connects with disconnect connectors are also widely used. An example is the application of a 7pin quick disconnect connector to allow the robot arm’s movement to be controlled through a remote control. The 7 pins can be connected to an encoder, which provides power to the arm’s motors, as well as signals for controlling such aspects as direction and speed.

Working Principle

The terminal quick connect kit consists of two parts: terminal quick connectors and their matching quick disconnect connectors, attached to a cable assembly. Both parts consist of a male and a female connector, where the male part has prongs that get inserted into the female connector.

When two mating parts are connected, two pieces of metal touch the prongs which then completes the connection, creating a conductive pathway. When the connectors are pulled apart and the prongs are separated, the connection is broken.

Terminal quick connects are configured to accommodate different sizes and types of terminals, depending on the application. They are also available in various connecting designs, such as crimping, splitting and welding, to fit different kinds of cabling requirements. Additionally, these types of connections usually provide strain relief and water ingress protection, making them an ideal choice for outdoor applications.

Conclusion

Terminals - quick connects with disconnect connectors are a reliable and robust solution for applications of all types. They are cost-effective and time-saving for automotive applications and have become a popular choice for Robotic projects. Also, quick disconnects are available in various configurations to accommodate different kinds of cabling requirements.
