85091-1 Connectors, Interconnects

85091-1 terminals, also known as crimp contacts, are widely used in electronic applications for connecting two conductors. The terminals can be subdivided into housings, boots, and pins, all of which provide a reliable connection to a variety of cable and wire sizes. The terminals are typically constructed from copper, brass, stainless steel, nickel, or aluminum and are available in a wide range of sizes and configurations.

Housings are the most basic type of crimp contact and are typically used for connecting two wires together. Generally, a housing consists of three components: the body, which contains the contacts or conductors; the insulation sleeve, which insulates the connection from the environment; and the terminal cap, which provides strain relief and helps retain the contact in the device. The contacts are crimped onto the wire or cable using a tool and then the cap is inserted over the contact and tightened to secure the connection.

Boots are a variation of the housings, designed for use in environments where moisture, dust, acid, oil, or other environmental contaminants are present. They feature a one-piece design and are constructed from nitrile or polyurethane material. The boot is inserted over the contact and crimped onto the wire or cable. The boot provides a barrier that prevents corrosion and moisture from affecting the connection.

Pins are another type of crimp contact and are generally used for connecting two wires to a circuit board. Pins are typically constructed from copper or steel and feature crimping grooves along the length of the pin. The pin is inserted into the contact and the wire is passed through the crimping grooves to ensure a secure connection. Pins are available in a wide range of sizes and configurations to suit any application.

The 85091-1 terminals provide a reliable connection for a variety of applications. The one-piece design allows for easy installation and they provide superior performance in environments where environmental contaminants are present. They are available in a wide range of sizes and configurations to meet the requirements of any application. With their reliable construction and superior performance, the 85091-1 terminals are the solution for any application where crimp contacts are needed.
