How to Use Electrical Wire Connectors

Generally, people attach great importance to connectors. Because the connector is not the main body of the device, but if it has any problems, the impact is comprehensive. The device leaves the connector and still loses its ability to work. Especially in modern industrial production practices, the role of wire connectors is even more important. A wire connector with a higher degree of matching is more advantageous for production. Combine with the actual production to develop, in order to achieve a better effect, especially to bring out the advantages of the connector products, in order to promote production more effective. 



1.Turn off the power

To avoid dangerous electric shocks, be sure to turn off the power before performing any wiring work.



2.Choose the right size wire connector

Almost as important as powering down, choosing the right size wire connection for your job can prevent electrical failure and prevent electrical fires. The reason for this is that when the switch or device is turned on, it causes current to flow through the wires and into the wire connectors. Once the current reaches the connector, it will experience mild resistance. The resistance causes the wire itself to heat up slightly, which in turn causes the wire to expand. Once the switch is turned off again and the current has stopped, the wire will cool again and shrink to its normal size. If a wrong size small wire connectors is used, it may pop out when the wire is inflated or when the wire is shrunk. Either way, the conductors of the wires will be exposed, which can cause various problems. To select the appropriate size of the splicing wire connectors, look at the side of the connector box to ensure that the connector used is rated to match the size of the wire to which it is connected and the number of wires in the wire.



3.Strip the wires that are being connected

Use a wire stripper to remove the coating around the ends of the two wires that need to be connected. Coatings up to 3/8 inch need to be removed.

4.Put the two stripped ends together

Align the two wires so they are parallel to each other. Some electricians twist the wires together before placing the connectors on them. This is not harmful; however, in order to obtain UL certification (which means it has been approved by the safety test board), the connector must be securely connected without twisting the wires, so applying the connector without twisting the wires will also kick in. In fact, twisting the wires together before installing the connector may make repairing the joint more difficult in the future because the two wires will be more difficult to separate.



5.Place the connector at the end of the wire

Whether the wires are twisted or simply aligned parallel to one another, the cap portion of the wire crimp connectors is placed over the exposed conductors of the two wires. Check to make sure that no exposed conductor material protrudes from the bottom of the connector. If some of the bare wires do stand out, remove the cover and clamp it with a wire cutter and try again.



6.Strip the wires that are being connected

Once the connector covers the entire bare wire, twist the connector clockwise until it feels very tight. Finally, test the quality and strength of the joint by holding the connector and trying to pull each wire securely. Keep in mind that if the wire terminals crimp connectors is not as tight as possible, the cover may slip.

Everyone has a certain level of familiarity with the wire connectors.Household appliances have their own dedicated connectors, but there are often quality issues. A separate connector product can solve the problem of household appliances, which shows that the quality of the machine and furniture is well maintained. The connector is used too frequently, so its service life and quality are very high. If the connector is used improperly, it will cause a more serious loss, even causing great inconvenience to production and life. Therefore, ordinary people pay attention to the production of connectors, and improve the quality of life also requires a connector product with high safety.
