It is often a hard task of determining which wire terminal is best suited for. One of the most confusing parts is the diversity of insulation types. There are vinyl insulated terminals, non-insulated terminals, thermal shrinkable insulated terminals and nylon insulated terminals. And worst of all, there are crimp seals, solder seals and crimp seals & solder seals options in the heat shrinkable terminals. To make things simple, here are the advantages and disadvantages of each terminals.
Advantage:
1. Is usually the cheapest option
2. High temperature components can withstand temperatures up to 900 degrees F
3. Crimp points are visible, so you can check if the connection is good.
4. Installers can also weld or increase heat shrink to establish better sealing connections.
Disadvantages:
1. There is no insulating layer, so do not use them in places where short may occur.
2. Some high temperature or heavy duty options require a lot of strength or special tools to crimp.
3. Non-sealed connection, therefore easy to corrode.
4. If they are only crimped, they can easily be pulled out by wires.
Advantage:
1. Usually the least expensive insulation option.
2. Usually available
3. Multiple Choices
4. Easy crimp installation
Disadvantages:
1. The crimping area is not visible, so it is difficult to determine if you have achieved good
crimping.
2. Non-sealed connection, therefore easy to corrode
3. Wires are easy to pull out
Advantages:
1. Semi-transparent insulation makes it easier for you to see if the connection is good.
2. Most wires and insulating layers can be "double crimped" to provide stronger connections.
3. Nylon insulating material is more flexible than vinyl insulating material and is not easy to crack.
4. Is more chemically resistant than vinyl.
5. Multiple Choices
6. Easy crimp installation
Disadvantages:
1. Is more expensive than vinyl
2. Non-sealed connection, therefore easy to corrode
3. Wires are easy to pull out
Advantages:
1. The most common heat-shrinkable terminal.
2. Semi-transparent insulation makes it easier for you to see if the connection is good.
3. Heat-shrinkable insulating materials have more abrasion resistant and flexible than nylon or vinyl materials.
4. Heat shrinkable insulation provides sealed connections to prevent corrosion.
5. Connections generated by heat-shrinkable insulating layers with adhesive linings not only rely on crimp to increase strength, but also reduce the possibility of pulling wires.
Disadvantages:
1. It is more expensive than vinyl or nylon terminals.
2. heat gun or butane torch tube is required for proper installation.
Advantages:
1. Welding produces stronger connections than crimp.
2. Solder reduces or even eliminates voltage drop on connections.
3. Sometimes it can be used under tight conditions without crimp tool space.
4. Semi-transparent insulation makes it easier for you to see if the connection is good.
5. Heat-shrinkable insulating materials have more abrasion resistance and flexible than nylon or vinyl materials.
6. Heat shrinkable insulation provides sealed connections to prevent corrosion.
7. Connections generated by heat-shrinkable insulating layers with adhesive linings not only rely on crimp to increase strength, but also reduce the possibility of pulling wires.
Disadvantages:
1. It is more expensive than vinyl or nylon terminals.
2. It is more hard to use than crimped sealing terminals.
3. heat air gun or butane torch tube is required for proper installation.
