What Insulation is on your Terminal?
2020年12月4日 お仕事Each type of terminal is built to handle a specific purpose and the same goes for the insulation that they carry. Just as ring terminals are vastly different from butt splices, so too is a nylon insulation different from an epoxy lined heat shrink insulation. There are a wide variety of types of terminals and types of insulation those terminals carry, so we will only focus on some of the most common types of insulation you are likely to run into. The main types of insulation that you are likely to encounter on a daily basis are; heat shrink, nylon, vinyl, and non-insulated. Ok, so the last one doesn’t technically count as a type of insulation, but it is an important thing to discuss when considering the correct terminal for your project. So, let’s talk about that for a second. Just how important is selecting the right type of insulation for your terminals
Importance of Selecting the Correct Type
Now you may just think that any insulation on a terminal will do, right? Wrong. The type of insulation that a terminal carries greatly affects it’s; resistance to environmental hazards, resistance to corrosion, longevity, flexibility of the wire its connected to, and a host of other potential factors. The fact is that each situation has different circumstances, and as such, may require a different type of insulation on the terminal. This is important as selecting the wrong type of insulation can leave your electrical system vulnerable to a loss of conductivity or even electrical failure. This is why is it absolutely essential that you make sure you have the right insulation protecting your terminal.
Varying Types of Insulation
As stated above, there are a wide variety of types of insulation, some of which are common and others that are much more obscure. We intend to focus this discussion on just the most common types you’re likely to run into. One of the most common types you are likely to see is heat shrink. These are becoming increasingly popular in recent years. The other types you are likely to encounter are nylon, vinyl, and non-insulated. Below we will take an in depth look at each type of insulation as well as the types of terminals you’re going to find with that particular insulation type.
