Component Selection

How many metric ring terminals can be installed?

When using our products, please select the thickness of the crimp terminals by taking into account both the effective screw depth of the terminal block and the insulation distance between terminals. When using multiple crimp terminals with terminal‑block–type power supplies or noise filters, it is acceptable to tighten up to two terminals together as long as each terminal has a thickness of 0.8 to 1.0 mm.
In addition, please ensure that the wiring used is appropriate with respect to allowable current and voltage drop.

Concerns Regarding Tightening Multiple Terminals Together
Depending on the mounting method, the terminals may tilt, preventing the two crimp terminals from making proper contact.
In such cases, insufficient contact may lead to increased contact resistance, which can cause abnormal heating. For this reason, we do not consider such installation appropriate. Please make sure that the terminals are installed correctly and are firmly in contact with each other.

Final Confirmation
Please determine the final suitability of the crimp terminal thickness based on evaluation using the actual equipment.
