• A terminal block is a modular, insulated block that secures two or more wires together. Factories use terminal blocks to secure and/or terminate wires. In their most basic form, terminal blocks consist of several individual terminals which are arranged in a long strip.

• Brass battery terminals are the best terminals to use in a corrosive type environment such as that found in marine electrical systems. Made from die-cast brass with tin plating, brass battery terminals provide low resistance and high strength, and are easily solder-able to provide maximum current conduction.

Types Of Terminals

• Connectors
• Line splices
• Terminal strip, also known as a tag board or tag strip
• Solder cups or buckets
• Wire wrap connections (wire to board)
• Crimp terminals (ring, spade, fork, bullet, blade)
• Turret terminals for surface-mount circuits
• Crocodile clips
