PV18-8FF-CY

Terminals - Spade Connectors

PV18-8FF-CY are Terminal connectors consisting of a spade lug and a stud hole. Connectors used in electrical and electronic components are usually based on either the spade or screw type terminal. The PV18-8FF-CY spade terminals are designed both to constrain the wires from movement and to transfer electrical signals and power from one device to another. These connectors are RoHS compliant, rated for up to 8 amps, and compliant with NEMA and UL standards.

Application Fields

PV18-8FF-CY spade connectors can be used in a variety of applications. Common uses include connecting components such as wiring, electronic components, switches, motors, lighting, and other equipment in industrial wiring projects. They are also suitable for many automotive and marine applications, such as battery connections and engine compartments.

Working Principles

The PV18-8FF-CY spade long is designed primarily to connect one electrical device to another. It consists of the spade, or ‘blade’, and the stud hole. The spade lug slides into the hole and held in place with a crimp or solder connection. The front end of the spade is insulated from the metal plate that surrounds the stud hole, allowing the lug to make a secure electrical contact without shorting out the circuit.

Advantages of Spade Connectors

Spade connectors offer quickconnect solutions for automotive, industrial and audio/video installations. The crimp style of PV18-8FF-CY eliminates the need to strip insulation on wire, allowing for a faster installation. Additionally, the insulation prevents shorting and the pressure connectors ensure reliable long-term connections. This eliminates the need to regularly tighten screws, saving time and effort.

Conclusion

PV18-8FF-CY spade connectors are ideal for quickconnect applications and offer a secure electrical connection. They are reliable, RoHS compliant components that are well-suited for industrial wiring and automotive applications. They offer quickconnect solutions and eliminate the need for regularly tightening screws, resulting in faster installation and maintenance times.
