Understanding Connectors: Automotive Terminals
Today’s cars contain about a mile of wires and thousands of electrical connections. These connections power and control the vehicle and its accessories, including safety and infotainment features. They connect the battery and the vehicle’s electrical system to provide efficient power transfer and maintain circuit integrity. They ensure these connections are rugged enough to remain safe even when subjected to harsh environmental conditions such as shock, vibration, and extreme temperatures. Automotive terminals can be board-to-board or wire-to-wire connectors, and they come in a variety of styles with a variety of connection types.
Board-to-board (BTB) connectors allow signals and power to be transferred between different components of a vehicle.
Wire-to-wire automotive connectors connect two terminated wires. They are essential for vehicle maintenance and repair, especially for repairs to the vehicle electrical system.
There are many types of automotive terminals, from ultra-small terminals to high-power terminals.
