Terminals - Spade Connectors - 52940 Application Field and Working Principle

The 52940 series of spade connector terminals are normally used for permanent electrical wiring connections and are available in different shapes and sizes within the range.

A spade connector terminal is a general purpose wire-terminal for electrical connection purposes. Its main purpose is to reliably connect two electrical wires together and are made up of two parts. The first is a blade with flat surface, which is inserted into the female connector and the second part is a ‘spade’ which is used to secure the wire to the blade.

The 52940 spade connector is used in a variety of situations, including commercial, residential and industrial. For instance, in industrial plants, instrumentation installations, railway systems or crane systems.

The 52940 series spade connectors feature tin-plated brass blades with round-ended screws, offering superior gripping power to keep the wires securely in place. The screws are also positive locking for extra security and the design of the terminals eliminates cross threading.

The 52940 series terminals ensure a vibration-resistant connection. This means that the cables remain secure in place even when exposed to vibration or intense movements, making it ideal for automotive and industrial applications.

The 52940 series terminals can be used with a variety of cables, including stranded and solid ones. They are also suitable for direct burial in wet or dry locations and come with a range of cable lengths for different applications.

When it comes to installation, the 52940 series of spade connectors are easy to install and come with a range of pre-assembled components for added convenience. This includes an instable anchor system that helps the user to quickly and conveniently attach the connectors to a wall or panel.

In terms of performance, the 52940 series spade connector terminals are designed to meet all the necessary performance requirements while meeting specifications set by UL, CSA and UL Listed Codes. They are also designed for long-term performance and come with a lifetime warranty.

Overall, the 52940 series of spade connector terminals are an ideal solution for providing reliable, effective and secure electrical connections in a variety of applications. They offer vibration-resistant connections, superior gripping power, are easy to install and feature a range of pre-assembled components for added convenience.
