328427

Terminals - Wire Splice Connectors are among the most widely used and versatile devices for quickly, securely, and reliably connecting two or more insulated conductors. The 328427 model is a popular terminal type and its primary application field and working principle are as follows.

The 328427 terminal is used in a wide variety of industrial, automotive, marine, and aviation applications. It can accommodate up to 4 AWG wire sizes, and its terminal ferrule is made of insulating tin-plated copper. This terminal is highly secure, using dual wedge-lock serrations to ensure a good connection that won\'t vibrate loose over time.

The 328427 terminal provides a highly robust connection. It features crimp-style insulation displacement connections (IDC) for easy installation. The terminal\'s barrel is made of tin-plated copper to allow for better corrosion resistance. It also features an open-barrel design with an internal lock and a twist cap that adds extra security.

To work properly, the 328427 terminal must be properly crimped to an insulated conductor. The ideal procedure requires using a specialized hand crimp tool (which can vary depending on the insulation style used on the wire). The tool is designed to ensure a uniformed crimp, thereby providing the terminal with a secure fit. The twist cap can then be inserted over the crimp and tightened to provide extra security.

As mentioned, the 328427 terminal can be used in a wide variety of applications. Its versatility and high level of security make it ideal for industrial wiring and assembly, automotive wiring, boat wiring, and aerospace wiring projects. This terminal is also very easy to use, making it a great choice for the inexperienced installer or hobbyist.

By providing a reliable and secure connection between insulated conductors, the 328427 terminal is essential for many wiring applications. By properly crimping the connection and using the twist cap for extra security, this terminal can provide a long-lasting and highly durable connection.
