Whether you are connecting electrical wires in an office or a manufacturing environment, you will find a wide variety of non-insulated terminals to choose from. These are designed to work well as long as they are properly installed. You can crimp your terminals with a crimping tool or solder them.

In some cases, the right insulation can make a huge difference in the longevity and performance of your electrical connections. Insulation can also increase your flexibility when connecting a wire. The best insulated terminals are heat shrink insulated and provide a high level of protection.

In addition to heat shrink, you can choose from several other types of insulated terminals. Nylon insulated terminals are popular in the industrial electronics and commercial electrical industries. They are easy to install and offer good impact resistance. Vinyl insulated terminals are used in the industrial, automotive, and recreational vehicle industries. They are resistant to abrasion, impact, and moisture.

Non-insulated push-on terminals are commonly used for circuits that need to be quickly disconnected. These types of connectors come with a crimp tool and are available with heat shrink for additional insulation. Some of these connectors are available with a color coding system for easy identification of the wiring. These terminals are perfect for both internal wiring in homes and machines, and between wall connections.

If you need to make an electrical connection in a marine or other harsh environment, you should consider heat shrink insulated terminals. They can withstand up to 221 degrees F.
