Types of Isolated Terminals and Their Features

Insulated terminals are an essential component that enable safe, quality electrical connections. They are widely used by installers and professionals in the sector thanks to their ease of use, variety of formats and adaptation to different environments. InXB Components, we offer a complete range that meets the real needs of the installer on a daily basis.

There are different types of insulated terminals depending on the material used to coat the terminal, which allows the terminal to be adapted to each environment of use.

PVC insulated terminals

PVC (polyvinyl chloride) insulation is a standard solution due to its good value for money.

• Suitable for domestic and industrial applications.
• Available with or without an internal metal bushing, which reinforces crimping and improves grip.
• Suitable for areas with vibrations or that require greater mechanical resistance.
• Maximum working temperature: 75 °C.

Insulated Terminals with Nylon

Nylon or nylon (polyamide) offers superior thermal protection to PVC, so it is recommended in environments with higher temperatures.

• It is also offered with or without a bushing.
• Rugged and reliable in demanding installations.
• Maximum working temperature: 105 °C.

Heat-shrink insulated terminals

This type of insulation provides more complete coverage against moisture, dust and other external aggressions.

• The heat shrink tubing conforms to the wire when heat is applied.
• Improves mechanical clamping and sealing.
• Available in versions with or without bushing.
• Maximum working temperature: 105 °C.

Influence of the bushing on the connection

In addition to insulation, the inner bushing reinforces the crimp. This translates into greater security and durability in the connection, especially in industrial environments.

Conductive materials according to terminal type

• Round, fork or ferrule terminals: made of tinned copper, with a maximum voltage of 600 V.
• Flat or cylindrical plug-in terminals: in tinned brass, with a maximum voltage of 300 V.

This variety allows you to select the right terminal according to the level of protection and the type of installation.

Compatibility with professional tools

All our models comply with European quality standards and can be used both with our own crimping tools and with others available on the market.

How to choose between the different types of insulated terminals?

The choice will depend on the application, the maximum voltage required and the working environment. The different types of insulated terminals available in XB Components They adjust to any need, guaranteeing secure connections both in industrial facilities and at home.
