Wire terminals are divided into two major classes- the solder type and the solderless type, which is also known as the pressure or crimp type. The solder

type has a cup in which the wire is held by solder permanently. The solderless type is connected to the wire by special tools. These tools deform the barrel of the terminal and exert pressure on the wire to form a strong mechanical bond and electrical connection. Solderless type terminals are gradually replacing solder type terminals in military equipment. Wire passing through holes in the metal members of the frame or body should be protected by rubber grommets. If rubber grommets are not available, use a piece of rubber hose the size of the hole to protect the wiring from chafing or cutting on sharp edges. |
