  2. Crimp (joining) - Wikipedia

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

    The wire should have as many strands as possible, so that a few damaged or uninserted wires will not adversely affect the crimp density, and thus degrade the electrical and mechanical properties of the connection. [6] Micrographs of the crimped connections can be prepared to illustrate good and bad crimps for training and quality assurance ...

  3. Electrical connector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_connector

    Effective crimp connections deform the metal of the connector past its yield point so that the compressed wire causes tension in the surrounding connector, and these forces counter each other to create a high degree of static friction. Due to the elastic element in crimped connections, they are highly resistant to vibration and thermal shock. [39]

  4. Piping and plumbing fitting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piping_and_plumbing_fitting

    Fitting being crimped using a specialized tool Pressfittings connection with dead space around the O-ring. Crimped or pressed connections to use special fittings permanently attached to tubing with a powered crimper. The fittings, manufactured with a pre-installed sealant or O-ring, slide over the tubing to be connected. High pressure is used ...

  5. Screw terminal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screw_terminal

    This is less likely to occur when a wire is clamped between two plates by the action of a screw. Since wire strands may not be contained by the screw head in a basic screw terminal, stranded wires may be first crimped into a ferrule to prevent the bridging of terminals; this partly offsets the simplicity and economy of a "bare" wire termination.

  6. Mechanically interlocked molecular architectures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanically_interlocked...

    In chemistry, mechanically interlocked molecular architectures (MIMAs) are molecules that are connected as a consequence of their topology. This connection of molecules is analogous to keys on a keychain loop. The keys are not directly connected to the keychain loop but they cannot be separated without breaking the loop.

  7. Compression fitting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compression_fitting

    A compression fitting 15 mm isolating valve. A compression fitting is a fitting used in plumbing and electrical conduit systems to join two tubes or thin-walled pipes together. . In instances where two pipes made of dissimilar materials are to be joined (most commonly PVC and copper), the fittings will be made of one or more compatible materials appropriate for the connect

  8. Clamp connection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clamp_connection

    A clamp connection is a hook-like structure formed by growing hyphal cells of certain fungi. It is a characteristic feature of basidiomycete fungi. It is created to ensure that each cell , or segment of hypha separated by septa (cross walls), receives a set of differing nuclei , which are obtained through mating of hyphae of differing sexual types.

  9. Twist-on wire connector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twist-on_wire_connector

    Twist-on wire connectors are commonly color-coded to indicate the connector size and, hence, their capacity. They are commonly used as an alternative to terminal blocks or soldering of conductors, since they are quicker to install and, unlike soldered or crimped connections, allow easy subsequent removal for future modifications.
