PV10-8LF-L

Terminals - Spade Connectors

PV10-8LF-L is a type of spade terminal, also referred to as a “reversed crimp terminal”. It has cup-shaped slots into which insulated wire is inserted, and an open-slot area designed to permit the crimp of a non-insulated conductive component to secure the connection. The design and shape of the PV10-8LF-L allows for more surface contact between the terminal and the connector. It is also designed with a slight lead-in angle for easier insertion and improved current carrying capacity.

Application Field

The PV10-8LF-L spade terminal can be used in a variety of applications, including environmental control systems, automotive and marine electrical systems, power and light industrial controls, and home appliance wiring. It is suitable for a wide range of devices, including switches, terminal blocks, relays, high-density connectors, and inverters. This type of terminal has high current carrying capacity and is designed for reliable connections in demanding environments.

Working Principle

The PV10-8LF-L terminal is crimped onto a non-insulated conductive component or wire after the insulated wire is inserted into the cup-shaped slots. The crimping process creates a gas-tight seal, which prevents arcing and corrosion. The V-shaped design of the slots ensures that a secure connection is made between the conductor and the terminal. The slight lead-in angle makes it easier to insert the wire into the slot and helps to reduce failure due to overheating. The design also optimizes the electrical contact of the connection and helps to improve its current carrying capacity.

Advantages

The PV10-8LF-L spade terminal offers a number of advantages over other types of connectors. It is designed with a large open slot area, which allows for the crimping of multiple wires, helping to reduce assembly time and cost. Its lead-in angle and cup-shaped slots ensure secure connections even in demanding environments. It is also designed with high current carrying capacity, making it suitable for a variety of applications. Overall, the PV10-8LF-L is a reliable and cost-effective connector choice for a variety of applications.
