Find terminal lugs and cable sleeves for your electrical connections
Terminal lugs are a connection product, which means you can use terminal lugs to connect a cable that can be soldered, welded, or crimped. You should secure the connecting end to the connection point using a bolt or screw.
You can also use terminal lugs to join two electrical wires with, for example, spade sleeves and spade plugs. In electrical connections, you generally use an insulated terminal lug made of either rubber or plastic to avoid shocks.
See our terminal lugs in various sizes and materials
In our terminal lug assortment, you will find various sizes, functions, and materials, which provide you with great opportunities to find exactly what you need. You can choose between aluminum and copper as well as insulated and uninsulated. Your choice of material and function depends on the type of electrical installation you are planning to carry out.
The connecting end of your terminal lug should match your terminal so that regardless of your specific task, you can either choose to use a ring terminal lug or a fork terminal lug. Additionally, you can use terminal lugs to reduce the thickness of your cable or wire. This way, you can make space for larger cables in your connector.
Although terminal lugs are widely used for various electrical connections, more robust terminal lugs can also be used to anchor non-electrical cables to surfaces. You will find terminal lugs on cables and wires in things like cars, electrical devices, machinery, and other electrical products.
Do you need terminal lugs for wire or cable?
Terminal lugs can be found on cables and wires in, for example, cars, electrical devices, machinery, and other electrical appliances. The terms cable and wire are often confused. The difference is that cables are made of multiple strands, while a wire consists of only a single one. You can definitely use a terminal lug for both cables and wires, but it requires you to choose the right type of connector.
Also check out our selection of crimping sleeves and terminal tubes
At Ahlsell, we also offer a selection of crimping sleeves. However, these crimping sleeves are not as common for electrical installations in private households but are much more prevalent in businesses or industry. The crimping sleeves are used for copper conductors, which means they come with a tinned surface. If you need to join multi-stranded copper conductors, then the crimping sleeves are the right choice for you.
You can use terminal tubes when you need an optimal connection on a cable end. With our selection of terminal tubes, you can avoid spreading conductors while simultaneously reducing the risk of cable breakage. Furthermore, terminal tubes help create a durable contact pressure and a large contact area.
