Terminals - Spade Connectors – 61498-1 application field and working principle

The 61498-1 standard is an international standard for electrical connections. It is used in both household and industrial equipment. It is based on spade connectors known as “blade” connectors. They are designed to be used in a variety of applications including wiring applications, panel assembly and for power-tool connections.

A spade connector is basically a metal barrel shaped connector which works by nature of a spring at one end. The spring provides tension and should always be present when correctly connecting it to the terminal. The spring allows current to flow through the wire and also allows the wire to be released or disconnected when needed. The spring is adjustable and can be adjusted when connecting electrical circuits, which can provide better conductivity and reduce the voltage drop. This also ensures the reliable connection of the wires and good electrical connectivity. The spade connector is primarily used in electrical wire connections and other areas where electrical connections have to be made.

Spade connectors are classified in terms of their rated current level or size. This rating is determined by the manufacturer depending on the application. Generally, the higher the rated current or size of the connector, the better its performance in terms of electrical connectivity, and also in terms of safety. The 61498-1 standard includes connectors with rates from 1A to 255A depending on the application.

The primary applications of the 61498-1 standard include building wiring, industrial equipment connections, and for use in mobile-phone assembly and fabrications. These connectors are particularly popular in household wiring since the maintenance and installation of each connector is easy due to the pluggable design. Moreover, due to their small form factor, they are especially useful in tight areas where large connectors may not fit.

Spade connectors in compliance with 61498-1 are subject to rigorous tests such as dielectric testing, mechanical testing, flame retardant testing, and electrical testing. These tests ensure that the connectors are safe for use in different applications and in a variety of conditions. Besides, the materials used for the construction of these connectors are also generally fire-resistant.

In summary, spade connectors that comply with the 61498-1 standard are a great choice for electrical connections in both industrial and household applications. They are sturdy, reliable and can be easily installed with the help of compatible crimping tools. Moreover, with their small size, they are ideal for tight spaces and for power tools connections.
