Automotive terminals are used to connect fuses, battery terminals, and vehicle sensors. They are found in cars, trucks, motorcycles, RVs, off-road vehicles, construction machinery, and electric vehicles.

Modern vehicles contain approximately one mile of wiring and thousands of electrical connections. These connections power and control the vehicle and its accessories, including safety and infotainment features. They link the battery and the vehicle's electrical system to ensure efficient power transmission and maintain circuit integrity. Automotive terminals are designed to be robust enough to remain secure even under harsh environmental conditions such as shock, vibration, and extreme temperatures. They can be board-to-board or wire-to-wire connectors and come in various styles and connection types.

• ● Board-to-board (BTB) connectors enable the transmission of signals and power between different components of the vehicle.

• ● Wire-to-wire automotive connectors facilitate the connection of two terminated wires. They are essential for vehicle maintenance and repair, particularly for fixing electrical systems.

Automotive terminals range from ultra-small to large power terminals.
