The name "tab" terminals is a description of the shape of the male terminal. Six series are covered in one of TE's catalogs (which omits the 0.375 in/9.5 mm, but mentions it elsewhere), named after their blade width in mils. [2] Insulated versions of the terminals are color-coded to indicate what wire gauges they may be used with. The terminal ...
An automotive wiring diagram, showing useful information such as crimp connection locations and wire colors. These details may not be so easily found on a more schematic drawing. A wiring diagram is a simplified conventional pictorial representation of an electrical circuit. It shows the components of the circuit as simplified shapes, and the ...
Accidental shorting of the wire to vehicle ground can cause sparks, rapid heating, or even a battery explosion. In low-voltage use such as for data communications, electrical shock hazard is not an issue, and male or female connectors are used based on other engineering factors such as convenience of use, cost, or ease of manufacturing.
NEMA wiring devices are made in current ratings from 15 to 60 amperes (A), with voltage ratings from 125 to 600 volts (V). Different combinations of contact blade widths, shapes, orientations, and dimensions create non-interchangeable connectors that are unique for each combination of voltage, electric current carrying capacity, and grounding ...
Wiring systems in buildings may be subject to frequent alterations. Frequent wiring changes are made simpler and safer through the use of electrical conduit, as existing conductors can be withdrawn and new conductors installed, with little disruption along the path of the conduit. A conduit system can be made waterproof or submersible.

Before becoming pregnant, I came out as nonbinary but didn't change much of my appearance. After giving birth, I felt detached from myself and knew I needed to make changes.
Twist-on wire connectors are not generally recommended for use with aluminum wire in the United States. [1] The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission disapproves wire nuts for aluminum wire; instead, special crimp connectors are called for, and as of 2011 the CPSC asserted qualified, second-preference approval of a certain kind of screw ...
