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.
