L-12-10-P Application Field and Working Principle

The L-12-10-P Ring Terminals are a type of electrical connector commonly used by electricians to terminate a conductor at a given point. An L-12-10-P Ring Terminal is a round, cylindrical conductor consisting of two terminals; one terminal (the center terminal) is permanently affixed to the conductor while the other is adjustable, allowing for a tight connection at the desired connection point. L-12-10-P Ring Terminals are specifically designed for use in commercial, industrial, and military applications where reliable connections and high current capabilities are a priority.

The L-12-10-P Ring Terminal is manufactured with a single cupped eyelet at its center, integral with the body of the connector. This eyelet is designed to provide stress relief and allow the connection to be fixed to the conductor without the need for additional clamps or fastening mechanisms. The adjustable terminal is also provided with a loop to assist in securing the connection.

The L-12-10-P application field is divided into two classes based on the conductor size. Class L Terminals are suitable for hex shaped conductors up to 1.0mm in diameter and Class P are suitable for hex shaped conductors between 1.25mm and 6.0mm in diameter. Both classes are suitable for continuous currents up to 20A.

L-12-10-P Working Principle

In operation, the L-12-10-P Ring Terminal is inserted into the terminal block or other equipment in order to provide electrical contact between two conductors. The central cupped eyelet of the terminal is designed to accept the hex shaped conductor and provides stress relief by dampening any vibration or swaying of the conductor. Once the conductor has been inserted, the adjustable terminal is secured in place by looping a pre-formed, metal loop over the eyelet.

The adjustable terminal of the L-12-10-P Ring Terminal is designed to provide a secure connection between the two conductors. Once the eyelet is secured, the adjustable terminal is tightened until a firm connection is established. The internal crimping mechanism of the adjustable terminal also helps to create a strong, reliable connection between the two conductors.

The L-12-10-P Ring Terminal is highly resistant to corrosion and weathering, making it an ideal connection for use in outdoor applications. It is also designed to meet the most stringent safety requirements, making it an ideal choice for commercial and industrial applications.

Conclusion

The L-12-10-P Ring Terminal is a reliable and highly efficient connection ideal for use in a wide range of applications. It is designed to provide a secure and permanent connection between two conductors and is highly resistant to corrosion and weathering. Additionally, the adjustable terminal allows for a precise, tight connection, and the integral cupped eyelet helps to provide stress relief and protect the connection over time.
