What Is a Solderless Connector?
A solderless connector is a connector used to connect electronic components without the need for soldering.
These connectors secure components without soldering by using crimp terminals, crimp connectors, or other devices such as plugs, jacks, and dedicated crimping tools. There are various types of solderless connectors, including clip-style connectors that simply clamp terminals and crimp terminals where wires are inserted into the terminal and crimped.
Because soldering is not required, solderless connectors allow for easy removal and reuse of components. They also provide physically robust connections, suitable for environments with vibrations or impacts. Additionally, they offer the advantage of easy handling and the ability to complete connection tasks quickly.
