Connectors and Terminals
Whether you’re wiring a distribution board, switchboard, or industrial control panel, our terminals and wire connectors help streamline your setup. This category includes:
-
Bootlace pins (insulated and uninsulated) for clean, fray-free wire ends in terminal blocks
-
Fork terminals for easy, secure screw-type connections
-
Blade (quick connect) terminals for rapid plug-in connections in automotive and control applications
-
Screw connectors for simple wire-to-wire joins without the need for crimping tools
Designed for low-voltage, control, and automotive circuits, these components make installation faster, neater, and more reliable. Trusted by electricians and installers across Australia, and backed by fast dispatch from our local warehouse.
Frequently Asked Qustions (FAQs)
What are bootlace pins used for?
Bootlace pins (ferrules) are used to terminate stranded wires cleanly, preventing fraying and ensuring a solid connection in terminal blocks.
Are blade terminals the same as quick connects?
Yes. Blade terminals—also known as quick connects—allow for fast plug-in/disconnect wiring, ideal for control gear and automotive use.
When should I use fork terminals?
Use fork terminals when you need to connect a wire under a screw terminal where full removal of the screw isn’t ideal. They slide easily under the screw head.
Do I need a crimping tool for these connectors?
Yes. Bootlace pins, blade, and fork terminals all require a crimping tool to ensure a proper, safe mechanical and electrical connection.
Are screw connectors reusable?
Yes. Screw connectors can be reused as long as the plastic housing and internal conductor path are undamaged.
| Connector Type | Best Use | Connection Method | Key Benefits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bootlace Pins | Terminating stranded wire into terminal blocks (e.g. switchboards, control panels) | Crimped | Prevents wire fraying, neat & compliant terminations |
| Blade Terminals | Fast plug-in connections in control gear, appliances, and automotive wiring | Crimped | Quick disconnect, male/female options |
| Fork Terminals | Screw terminal connections (where removing screw fully isn’t required) | Crimped | Fast install, easy fit under screw heads |
| Screw Connectors | Joining two or more wires without soldering or crimping | Mechanical | No tools needed, reusable, secure grip |
