A crimp connector is a type of electrical connector used to join wires together securely. It consists of a metal terminal that is attached to a wire by deforming the terminal around the wire using a crimping tool. This creates a strong mechanical and electrical connection, making it ideal for various applications in electronics and automotive industries. Crimp connectors come in different shapes and sizes, including ring terminals, spade connectors, and butt connectors. They are often made from materials like copper or aluminum and are usually coated with tin or gold to prevent corrosion. Proper crimping ensures reliable performance and longevity of the connection.
