Terminal (electronics)

Terminal (electronics)

A terminal is a conductive device for joining electrical circuits together. The connection may be temporary, as for portable equipment, or may require a tool for assembly and removal, or may be a permanent electrical joint between two wires or devices.

Terminals form a single circuit, unlike electrical connectors, which form 2 or more circuits.

Types of terminals

* Splices
* Solder Lugs
* Tongue Crimp terminals (ring terminals)
* Turrets
* Test probes (pogo terminals)
* Clips
* Screw terminals
* Tab terminals (quick-connect, quick-disconnect)
