Product Features

This GT17 Wire End Terminal features a closed-barrel crimp design that delivers strong mechanical retention and gas-tight electrical connections when properly terminated with recommended tooling, preventing the formation of high-resistance oxide layers at the conductor-to-terminal interface. Manufactured from high-conductivity copper alloy, the terminal provides excellent current-carrying capacity while resisting corrosion and mechanical fatigue under cyclic thermal loading conditions encountered in power distribution applications. A funnel-shaped conductor entry simplifies wire insertion during crimping, reducing the risk of stray strands that could cause short circuits or incomplete crimps that compromise joint integrity. The insulation crimp section supports both conductor and insulation grip configurations, distributing strain evenly and preventing conductor breakage at the transition point where stranded wire emerges from the crimp barrel. The terminal's contact area is engineered for optimal normal force against the mating surface, ensuring low millivolt drop and stable connection resistance over the operational lifetime. A wide wire range compatibility allows a single terminal part number to service multiple harness specifications, reducing inventory requirements and simplifying supply chain management.

Application Scenarios

The GT17 Wire End Terminal is crimped onto conductor ends to establish a reliable electrical and mechanical connection within GT17 series connectors, serving as the fundamental current-carrying element in the contact system. It is extensively used in automotive battery cables, alternator output circuits, and starter motor feed lines, where high current-carrying capacity and low contact resistance are paramount for reliable engine starting and electrical system performance. This terminal also appears in industrial control panels, power distribution boards, and renewable energy systems for connecting bus bars and cable lugs in both AC and DC power architectures. In electric vehicles, it links battery modules to power management units, handling substantial continuous currents under demanding thermal conditions while maintaining stable connection resistance. The tin-plated finish enhances solderability and provides a protective barrier against oxidation, ensuring consistent performance over extended service periods even in corrosive atmospheres. Aftermarket repair applications benefit from the terminal's compatibility with standard crimp tooling, enabling field technicians to fabricate or repair connections without specialized equipment. Its broad wire gauge accommodation makes it a versatile choice across multiple circuit architectures.
