Terminal connector Comap GW - 18-3/4 JEVCO (screw-type) model 8501067

The Comap GW - 18-3/4 JEVCO screw-type terminal connector is a compact, screw-clamping electrical connector designed to provide reliable, detachable connections in electrical installations and control equipment. Built for straightforward installation, it secures conductors with a threaded screw mechanism to maintain good electrical contact and mechanical stability. The connector is suitable for use where a robust, reusable connection point is required and where serviceability and occasional disassembly may be needed.

Advantages

This screw-type terminal connector offers a simple and proven clamping method that ensures consistent contact pressure and easy inspection. The design supports repeated assembly and disassembly without special tools beyond a standard screwdriver, facilitating maintenance and reconfiguration of wiring. Its compact form factor allows efficient space use in terminal blocks and control panels while maintaining mechanical strength and secure electrical conductivity.

Suitable for

• Electrical installations in residential, commercial, and industrial panels
• Control cabinets and instrumentation wiring
• Applications requiring detachable connections for maintenance or testing
• Terminating single conductors or ferrules where screw clamping is preferred

When it may not be suitable

This type of screw terminal may be less suitable in environments where vibration is severe and loosening may occur without additional locking methods, or where tool-free, push-in termination is required for very rapid assembly. It is not intended as a sealed or waterproof connector for outdoor use unless additional protective measures are applied.

Key specifications

• Connection type: screw clamping terminal
• Mounting: designed for panel or terminal block integration
• Material characteristics: conductive metal contact with insulating housing (typical for screw terminals)
• Suitable conductor types: solid conductors, stranded conductors (with ferrules recommended)
• Reusable: designed for repeated assembly and disassembly

How to use

Strip the conductor insulation to the recommended length, insert the conductor or ferrule into the terminal entry, and tighten the screw to the manufacturer's recommended torque using a suitable screwdriver. Ensure the conductor is fully seated and that the screw applies firm contact pressure without over-tightening. For stranded conductors, using a crimp ferrule improves contact reliability. After installation, visually inspect the connection for correct seating and secure clamping.

What to consider before purchase

• Compatibility with your panel or terminal strip mounting and available space
• Conductor cross-section range and whether ferrules are needed for stranded wire
• Required mechanical and electrical ratings for your application (current, voltage, temperature)
• Environmental conditions (indoor vs. outdoor, presence of moisture or vibration)

Usage recommendations

Use the connector with appropriately sized conductors and, where applicable, crimp ferrules for stranded wire. Tighten screws to specified torque values to maintain reliable electrical contact, and perform periodic inspections in high-vibration or critical installations. Protect against moisture and contaminants when used outside controlled indoor environments.
