P18-8R-M

P18-8R-M terminals are a type of ring connectors, which provide multiple connections for electrical circuits. They are widely used in various applications, such as automotive, lighting, telecom, computer, and other electronic fields. These terminals are especially suitable for terminals for low voltage DC applications.

The working principle of a P18-8R-M terminal is relatively simple. It consists of a set of two metallic rings that are joined together in such a way that electrical current can flow between them. The positive and negative terminals are present on the inside of the ring. The terminals are insulated to prevent any electrical shock. The terminals are then connected to a power supply through the use of two wire leads.

The inner circumference of the terminal is lined with a spring-loaded contact that makes a secure connection to the power lead. The spring-loaded contact also provides a physical barrier to help prevent short circuits. When power is applied to the terminal, the rings close tightly, creating a secure connection for the electrical circuit. The terminal also provides protection from accidental short circuits, as it will only close when the correct amount of power is applied.

The advantage of P18-8R-M terminals is that they are relatively affordable and easy to install. Since they come pre-wired, all that needs to be done is to connect two wire leads to the terminals. This makes them the preferred choice for many low voltage applications. Furthermore, the terminals are corrosion-resistant, so they can be used in damp environments.

P18-8R-M terminals are available in different sizes, depending on the application. Generally, they have a width of 30.5 mm and a height of 23.5 mm. The wire leads can be connected either to the top or the bottom of the ring, depending on the requirements of the application. The terminals come in different colors to match the requirements of the specific application.

The P18-8R-M terminal offers a safe and reliable connection for a variety of applications. It is easy to install and can be used for both low and medium voltage circuits. It also offers protection from accidental short circuits. If you need a reliable and affordable terminal, the P18-8R-M is an ideal choice.
