Tubular angled electrical terminal Cimco 183131, copper-plated connector contacts

Cimco 183131 is a tubular angled electrical terminal with copper-plated connector contacts designed for making reliable wire connections in confined or angled installations. The angled tubular shape facilitates secure insertion of stranded or solid conductors while saving space behind panels or inside housings. Copper plating on the contact surfaces reduces corrosion and maintains stable electrical conductivity for general wiring tasks in household appliances, control panels and other low-voltage applications.

Advantages

The angled tubular design enables connections where straight terminals would not fit or would require excess bending of conductors. Copper-plated contacts offer improved corrosion resistance compared with bare metal terminals and help preserve low contact resistance over time. The tubular form provides a consistent mechanical grip on conductors, improving vibration resistance in equipment and reducing the risk of loose connections. Its compact profile supports tidy wiring runs in tight spaces.

Suitable for

• Internal wiring of household appliances (motors, heaters, control modules)
• Control panels and terminal blocks in compact enclosures
• Repair and maintenance of electrical cables in tight or angled assemblies
• Low-voltage signal and power connections where space is limited

Key specifications

• Type: Tubular angled electrical terminal
• Contact plating: Copper-plated contact surfaces for corrosion resistance
• Shape: Angled/tubular profile for constrained or offset connection points
• Compatibility: Suitable for stranded and solid conductors within common appliance wiring sizes
• Application voltage: Intended for low-voltage appliance and control wiring
• Mechanical properties: Designed to provide consistent grip and vibration resistance

How to use

Prepare the conductor by stripping the insulation to the appropriate length without nicking the wire strands. Insert the stripped conductor fully into the tubular section until it seats against the shoulder. Use a suitable crimping tool or soldering procedure recommended for tubular terminals to form a reliable mechanical and electrical joint. After crimping or soldering, verify the connection by gently pulling the conductor to confirm it is secure and inspect for proper contact and absence of exposed conductive parts that could short to adjacent components.

Usage recommendations

Use the terminal within its intended low-voltage range and select the correct conductor cross-section to match the terminal size. Avoid over-crimping, which can damage conductor strands or the plating; follow manufacturer guidance for crimp force and die selection. For environments with high humidity or corrosive atmospheres, consider additional protective measures such as insulating sleeves or conformal coatings to extend service life.
