When the ignition switch is turned on, a small electric current is sent through the starter solenoid. This causes the starter solenoid to close a pair of heavy contacts, thus relaying a large electric current through the starter motor, which in turn sets the engine in motion. [1] The starter motor is a series, compound, or permanent magnet type ...
A crocodile clip or alligator clip [1] is a plier-like spring-tensioned metal clip with elongated, serrated jaws that is used for creating a temporary electrical connection. This simple mechanical device gets its name from the resemblance of its serrated jaws to the toothed jaws of a crocodile or alligator .
Crimped connectors are a type of solderless connection, using mechanical friction and uniform deformation to secure a connector to a pre-stripped wire (usually stranded). [1] Crimping is used in splice connectors, crimped multipin plugs and sockets, and crimped coaxial connectors. Crimping usually requires a specialised crimping tool, but the ...
An illustration of a solenoid Magnetic field created by a seven-loop solenoid (cross-sectional view) described using field lines Magnetic field demonstration with solenoid-shaped insulated wire and iron filings. A solenoid (/ ˈ s oʊ l ə n ɔɪ d / [1]) is a type of electromagnet formed by a helical coil of wire whose length is substantially ...
A banana connector (commonly banana plug for the male, banana jack (or socket) for the female) is a single-wire (one conductor) electrical connector used for joining wires to equipment. The term 4 mm connector is also used, especially in Europe, although not all banana connectors will mate with 4 mm parts, and 2 mm banana connectors exist.
A Fahnestock clip, showing how it grips a stripped wire. It can be released by pushing the tab down as shown. A Fahnestock clip is an early type of spring clamp electrical terminal for connections to bare wires. It is still [when?] used in educational electronic kits and teaching laboratories in schools. It is designed to grip a bare wire ...
