Screw terminal

A screw terminal is a type of electrical connector that consists of a set of terminals that are held in place by screws. These connectors are commonly used in electronic circuits to provide a means of connecting wires or other conductors to a circuit board or other components. Screw terminals are available in a variety of configurations, including single-wire, dual-wire, and multi-wire arrangements. They can also have different numbers of terminals, depending on the application. Screw terminals are typically made from metal, such as brass or steel, and the screws are used to clamp the wire or conductor in place, making a secure and reliable connection. They are available in a range of sizes to accommodate different wire gauges, and may also have insulation to prevent short circuits. Screw terminals are commonly used in a wide range of electronic devices, including appliances, industrial equipment, and consumer electronics. They are typically used in applications where a secure and reliable connection is required, and where the wires may need to be removed or replaced.
