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.
It's about the building "wiring" for houses, and not just about the "wire" (or more correctly "conductor") as it is also about the wiring methods, devices, and wiring repairs. "Aluminum wire" could be used for many things including utility transmission and distribution systems discussed in other Wiki Articles (e.g. Overhead power line and ...
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.
A connector more closely resembling the present-day twist-on type was patented in Canada by Marr in 1931, and in the US in 1933. "Wire Connector", Canadian Patent CA 311638 Issued 26 May 1931. "Wire Connecter" U.S. patent 1,896,322, Filed November 24, 1930, Patented February 7, 1933
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 ...
FASTON terminals or faston terminals are connectors that are widely used in electronic and electrical equipment. These terminals are manufactured by many companies, commonly using the terms "quick disconnect", "quick connect", "tab" terminals, "spade" terminals [ 1 ] or blade connectors ; without qualifiers, the first two could be mistaken for ...
A 9 pin amphenol connector socket, used to connect a Leslie speaker. The term Amphenol connector refers to various electronics connectors that are introduced, or made primarily by Amphenol Corp. Depending on the area of electronics concerned, it may refer specifically to: MIL-DTL-5015 / MIL-C-5015, a circular connector
Color-coded PS/2 connection ports (purple for keyboards and green for mice) on the rear of a personal computer An S-video connector: because this is a female connector, Pin 1 is at lower right Mini-DIN connectors are 9.5 millimetres ( 3 ⁄ 8 in) in diameter and come in seven patterns, with the number of pins from three to nine.
