Terminals
Product Description
Terminals are essential electrical connectors used in laboratory and industrial setups to create secure, reliable connections between wires, cables, and electrical equipment. Typically made from conductive metals such as copper or brass and often coated with corrosion-resistant materials, terminals facilitate the transfer of electrical signals or power with minimal resistance. They come in various types including ring, spade, fork, and blade terminals to suit diverse wiring requirements. Terminals are widely used in electrical circuits, instrumentation, and control panels within laboratories to ensure safe and efficient electrical connections.
