Types of Automotive Wire Connectors
Here are the most common types of automotive wire connectors:
What is a terminal connector?
A terminal connector provides a convenient way to connect individual wires, or various circuits and systems. A terminal connector can help prevent shortages, eliminate splicing and conserve panel space.
What is a wire harness connector?
A wiring harness is an organized set of wires, terminals and connectors that run throughout the entire vehicle and relay information and electric power playing a critical role in connecting a variety of components. A DC connector is an electrical connector supplying direct current (DC) power in the wire harness connectors and is the backbone of any electromechanical systems. The performance of the connector directly determines the overall performance of the wiring harness and plays a decisive role in the stability and safety of the whole vehicle.
Plug and socket connectors are usually made up of male plug contacts and female receptacle socket contacts. A socket often refers to a female connector and is more fixed, while the plug is commonly referred to the male contact and is the movable connector of the pair.
Protect Your Automotive Electrical Connectors
As with any automotive electrical circuit it’s important to have the right multi-pin connector for
the job. While electrical connectors are responsible for connecting various circuits, systems, and applications together, items such as heat shrink tubing and wire are what enable the current to flow through your circuit and protects your wire from damaging environmental factors (i.e. water, moisture, dust, chemicals, fuels and more).
Whether you’re looking for a convenient way to connect individual wires or simply protect your existing wire/cable, it’s important to have the right parts.
