  2. Terminal (electronics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminal_(electronics)

    Terminal symbol A terminal strip, to which wires can be soldered. A terminal is the point at which a conductor from a component, device or network comes to an end. [1] Terminal may also refer to an electrical connector at this endpoint, acting as the reusable interface to a conductor and creating a point where external circuits can be connected.

  3. Electrical contact - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_contact

    Form D contacts ("continuity transfer" contacts) differ from Form C in only one regard, the make-break order during transition. Where Form C guarantees that, briefly, both connections are open, Form D guarantees that, briefly, all three terminals will be connected. This is a relatively uncommon configuration.

  4. Electric wire ferrule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_wire_ferrule

    An electric wire ferrule (sometimes electric end terminal) is a metal tube crimped over stranded wire to secure the strands within a screw terminal. Electrical insulation may be included to protect any exposed portion of the wire not completely inside the screw terminal post.

  5. Electrical termination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_termination

    At the two ends of the bus, resistors connect between the positive (high) and negative (low) signal wires either in internally terminated bus couplers or external connectorized terminators. The MIL-STD-1553B bus must be terminated at both ends to minimize the effects of signal reflections that can cause waveform distortion and disruption or ...

  6. Port (circuit theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_(circuit_theory)

    In electrical circuit theory, a port is a pair of terminals connecting an electrical network or circuit to an external circuit, as a point of entry or exit for electrical energy. A port consists of two nodes (terminals) connected to an outside circuit which meets the port condition – the currents flowing into the two nodes must be equal and ...

  7. Main distribution frame - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_distribution_frame

    The MDF is a termination point within the local telephone exchange where exchange equipment and terminations of local loops are connected by jumper wires at the MDF. All cable copper pairs supplying services through user telephone lines are terminated at the MDF and distributed through the MDF to equipment within the local exchange e.g. repeaters and DSLAM.

  8. IDC (electrical connector) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IDC_(electrical_connector)

    Pin 1 is typically indicated on the body of the connector by a red or raised "V" mark. The corresponding wire in a ribbon cable is usually indicated by red coloration, a raised molded ridge, or markings printed onto the cable insulation. On the connector pin 2 is opposite pin 1, pin 3 is next to pin 1 along the length of the connector, and so on.

  9. Ring circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_circuit

    Ideally, the ring circuit acts like two radial circuits proceeding in opposite directions around the ring, the dividing point between them dependent on the distribution of load in the ring. If the load is evenly split across the two directions, the current in each direction is half of the total, allowing the use of wire with half the total ...
