What is Spade Connector and how to fix electric equipment with it

August 31, 2021 2 min read

Fixing the daily routine electrical equipment requires the use of spade connectors. These are also essential for ensuring a secure connection. This article presents the information about the spade connectors in detail.

WHAT IS A SPADE CONNECTOR?

Spade connectors are the special connector types that establish a circuit, which can be disconnected with ease.

The shape of the connector is similar to the fork and is known as the fork terminal.

Using this connector, you can expect higher tensile strength, thermal conductivity, and resistance to corrosion and vibration.

This connector is best for application when you have limited space for installation. Insulated and non-insulated variety of spade connectors is available in this connection type too.

There are multiple materials used in the production of the spade connector, and it is not only the plastic that we all would have assumed about its composition.

MATERIAL USED IN SPADE CONNECTORS:

Below are the material used in thespade connectors:

PVC:

PVC or polyvinyl chloride is the polymer of plastic that forms the major part of the spade connectors. The entire body you see in different colors is made of PVC. This is why it is safe to touch, irrespective of the connection type you aim to create.

COPPER:

Copper is the conductor and is found on the part where your wires connect. Its presence makes the connection work.

TIN PLATE:

There is a tin plate present at the top of the spade connector. This material holds the wire and lets you create a secure connection with the cables.

HOW TO USE A SPADE CONNECTOR?

The use of spade connectors is helpful in machinery and home appliances. Moreover, electrical equipment like audio, car stereo, computer parts, and industrial controllers utilize spade connectors.

You can choose theright spade connector size, depending upon the wire gauge and screw size for establishing a connection.

PROCESS OF INSTALLING SPADE CONNECTORS:

Below is the process of installing spade connectors:

Step 1: Remove the insulation from the wire. It must be long enough to form the connection properly.

Step 2: you’ll find the copper wires underneath. Twist the copper wires together.

Step 3: Now, put the striped part inside the connectors to form the connection.

Step 4: Crimp the wire and connector together. Pull the wire to check if the connection is secure.

Step 5: Your connection is ready.
