What Is a Terminal Bolt?
A terminal bolt is a specialized fastener designed for electrical wire connections.
These bolts find application in diverse settings such as automotive batteries, household appliances, industrial machinery, solar power systems, and electrical installations. Operating on a simple principle, tightening the bolt ensures secure contact between the wire and terminal, facilitating the flow of electric current.
The essential components of a terminal bolt include the bolt itself, the nut, the washer, and the terminal, which are all assembled. Notable attributes of terminal bolts include safety, durability, versatility, affordability, and ease of installation. Safety is assured through secure tightening, while the metal construction ensures robustness. Key considerations during usage include verifying tightening torque, implementing insulation measures, and preventing corrosion.
