2. Electric wire ferrule - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_wire_ferrule

   Top: wire terminating in an insulated ferrule Center: Several ferrules with colored insulation, and two uninsulated ferrules Insulated, and uninsulated ferrules. An electric wire ferrule (sometimes electric end terminal) is a metal tube crimped over stranded wire to secure the strands within a screw terminal. Electrical insulation may be ...

3. Aluminum building wiring - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminum_building_wiring

   The splice of the copper pigtail to the existing aluminum wire can be accomplished with special crimp connectors, special miniature lug-type connectors, or approved twist-on connectors (with special installation procedures). Pig-tailing generally saves time and money, and is possible as long as the wiring itself is not damaged.

4. Screw terminal - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screw_terminal

   Screw terminals, as individual connectors to a board at left, as a barrier strip with setscrews at top, and as a barrier strip with attached spade and loop lugs at bottom. A screw terminal is a type of electrical connection where a wire is held by the tightening of a screw .

5. Twist-on wire connector - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twist-on_wire_connector

   End view showing metal inserts Twist-on connectors used in a junction box Twist-on wire connectors. Twist-on wire connectors are a type of electrical connector used to fasten two or more low-voltage (or extra-low-voltage) electrical conductors. They are widely used in North America and several European countries in residential, commercial and ...

6. F crimp - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F_crimp

   F-Crimp is a more mechanically robust crimp connection compared to the common barrel-crimp type readily available at retail locations (Radio Shack, Home Depot, etc.). It also has an optional second crimp section that crimps to the insulation, providing strain relief. Because of these characteristics, automobiles use F-Crimp almost exclusively.

7. FASTON terminal - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FASTON_terminal

   Insulated versions of the terminals are color-coded to indicate what wire gauges they may be used with. The terminal system consists of tabs (male) and receptacles (female). There are free-hanging wire and circuit board mounted versions of both tabs and receptacles. All widths come mostly in one of two tab thicknesses: 0.032 and 0.020 in (0.8 ...

8. IDC (electrical connector) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IDC_(electrical_connector)

   Modern IDC technology developed after and was influenced by research on wire-wrap and crimp connector technology originally pioneered by Western Electric, Bell Telephone Labs, and others. [3] Although originally designed to connect only solid (single-stranded) conductors, IDC technology was eventually extended to multiple-stranded wire as well.

9. Crimp (joining) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crimp_(joining)

   In jewelry manufacture, crimp beads, or crimp tubes, are used to make secure joints in fine wire, such as used in clasps or tie loops. A crimped lead (or other soft metal) seal is attached to secure wires used to secure fasteners in aircraft, or to provide visual evidence of tampering when securing a utility meter or as a seal on cargo containers.
