2. Crimp (joining) - Wikipedia

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

   A key idea behind crimped connectors is that the finished connection should be gas-tight. 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 which holds the cable ...

3. Quick connect fitting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quick_connect_fitting

   Quick connect couplings are made from various materials, each suited for specific applications based on durability, chemical resistance, and cost. The two primary categories are plastics and metals. Plastics (e.g., Acetal, Polypropylene, Nylon, and PEEK) Lightweight and corrosion-resistant. Ideal for medical, food processing, and chemical ...

4. Electrical connector - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_connector

   Connectors are purely passive components – that is, they do not enhance the function of a circuit – so connectors should affect the function of a circuit as little as possible. Insecure mounting of connectors (primarily chassis-mounted) can contribute significantly to the risk of failure, especially when subjected to extreme shock or ...

5. IDC (electrical connector) - Wikipedia

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

   Ribbon cable is designed to be used with multi-contact IDC connectors in such a way that many IDC connections can be made at once, saving time in applications where many connections are needed. These connectors are not designed to be reusable, but can often be re-used if care is taken when removing the cable.

6. Electrical conduit - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_conduit

   A conduit system can be made waterproof or submersible. Metal conduit can be used to shield sensitive circuits from electromagnetic interference, and also can prevent emission of such interference from enclosed power cables. Non-metallic conduits resist corrosion and are light-weight, reducing installation labor cost.

7. Piping and plumbing fitting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piping_and_plumbing_fitting

   Flared connectors should not be confused with compression connectors, which are generally not interchangeable. Lacking a compression ring, they use a tapered conical shaped connection instead. A specialized flaring tool is used to enlarge tubing into a 45º tapered bell shape matching the projecting shape of the flare fitting.

8. Dielectric gas - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dielectric_gas

   A dielectric gas, or insulating gas, is a dielectric material in gaseous state. Its main purpose is to prevent or rapidly quench electric discharges . Dielectric gases are used as electrical insulators in high voltage applications, e.g. transformers , circuit breakers (namely sulfur hexafluoride circuit breakers ), switchgear (namely high ...

9. Passivation (chemistry) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passivation_(chemistry)

   Stainless steels are corrosion-resistant, but they are not completely impervious to rusting. One common mode of corrosion in corrosion-resistant steels is when small spots on the surface begin to rust because grain boundaries or embedded bits of foreign matter (such as grinding swarf ) allow water molecules to oxidize some of the iron in those ...
