Mains Screw & Crimp Connectors

Mains screw and crimp connectors are two types of electrical connectors used for connecting wires to a power source in mains voltage applications. Mains screw connectors use a screw terminal to secure the wire in place, making a mechanical and electrical connection. These connectors are commonly used in household and industrial wiring applications where a secure and reliable connection is required.

Crimp connectors, on the other hand, use a specialized tool to crimp the connector onto the wire, creating a secure and permanent connection. They are often used in applications where a more compact and aesthetically pleasing connection is desired.

Both types of connectors have their advantages and disadvantages, and the choice between them often depends on the specific application and the preferences of the installer.
