What types of terminals are there for the M16 connector and how to choose them?
Terminal Types of M16 Connectors
Common Terminal Types & Characteristics
- Crimp Type: Suitable for mass production with high efficiency and stable connection
- Solder Type: Ideal for small-batch production and high-frequency signal transmission
- Screw Lock Type: Convenient for on-site maintenance and quick wiring adjustments
Selection Guidelines
Crimp Type (Priority Choice)
Preferred for most industrial applications due to high reliability, vibration resistance and consistent connection quality.
Solder Type (High-Frequency Scenarios)
Recommended for high-frequency/precision signal transmission to minimize signal loss and ensure stable impedance matching.
Screw Lock Type (On-Site Use)
Ideal for on-site debugging, maintenance or temporary wiring where quick disassembly and reassembly are required.
Technical Note: For crimp-type terminals, use professional crimping tools matching the wire gauge to ensure crimp quality and avoid poor contact caused by improper crimping.
