BS-32-10-W

Terminals - Spade Connectors

Spade connectors, or spade lugs, are quick-connect electrical terminals most commonly used to connect two or more electrical terminations quickly and economically, taking the place of soldering and crimping for permanent connections. One of the most commonly used spade terminal is the BS-32-10-W.

Application

The BS-32-10-W spade terminal is a versatile product primarily used in automotive and marine electrical applications. It is very commonly used to connect various parts together like power switches, fuse holders, relays, connectors and terminals. This spade terminal also has a large range of uses in aircraft and industrial applications. It is UL approved and comes with a build-in eyelet that provides flexibility for additional crimping.

Construction

The BS-32-10-W spade terminal is made from stainless steel and features a zinc-planted finish for corrosion resistance. This spade connector has a total length of 32 mm and the eyelet has a diameter of 10mm, and the overall profile of the connector has a generally cylindrical shape. It is UL approved and features a two piece crimp sleeve design allowing for maximum flexibility and reliable connection.

Working Principle

The working principle of the BS-32-10-W spade connector is relatively simple. When the two parts of the connector are joined together, the internal electrical contacts of the connector will mate and make a positive connection. This, in turn, allows for the electrical current to flow from one part to the other via the two joined pieces. The connection will remain secure thanks to the two-piece crimp sleeve feature mentioned above, which helps keep the two parts securely joined together.

In order to ensure maximum reliability of the connection, it is important to ensure that the two parts of the connector are securely fastened to each other. Additionally, it is important to use the correct crimp tools to ensure that the connection is correctly formed and provides a good, reliable electrical connection.

In summary, the BS-32-10-W spade terminal is a versatile product that is used in many different applications. It is reliable and easy to install, and provides a sturdy, secure connection between two components. Additionally, it is UL approved and features a two-piece crimp sleeve design for added vigilance and reliability.
