Lamp Socket Terminal Name

[Dana67Dart]

I have a project where I need to crimp on the little brass terminal in lamp holders.

I bought some from one of the eBay or online venders but was having a time trying to get a proper crimp. So I went looking for a different seller that might have a different part. I tried several search terms and kept coming back to the same sellers.

American Autowave and another I don't recall, then the eBay sellers.

I looked on Newark electric, they had to have them, couldn't find anything, so I chatted with their technical folks and guess what they are called...


Wait for it....


"Fuse Brass Terminal"

google that term.

There are a lot of other unrelated things that come up but there are several sources and even some different sizes and for different AWG wire

The one in blue from Aliexpress looks really promising. It comes with a 5mm or 6mm head and they appear longer than the others which makes crimping much easier.

I just found the same AliExpress on Amazon Search "Automotive Brass Wiring Harness Connector Crimp Terminal Fuse Holder"

I bought some and will report back on how the work out

UPDATE

American Autowire got back to me on their brass terminal. Their terminal does not have a crimp for the insulation, that's why their crimpers will work so well on their terminal.

Here is the offering from TE (Tyco)

Side Note:

The barrel connectors (trailer connectors) are called "SHUR-PLUG 180"

LOL I sure don't know. When I worked for the wheelchair joint, a small part of my job was making accessories and parts, like this horn kit, only the components we made individually as well. The fused power cable at the right is known as an "always on" cable. The electrics of the chair are floating, not grounded to the frame. I guess that is why they fuse both leads, in case something happens there. But we soldered the fuse contacts. We used lead free solder, and an antique 1 gal jug of Kester 44 flux, which we cut 3x parts alky to 1 part flux. I used to set the contacts on small wood blocks in rows, stick solder down in vertically, and cut it off with flush cut dykes, then add a drop of flux

Flux and tin the wire, and heat and dump it in. In the 4 years I worked there, I made hundreds. Not one failure so far as I know.

Pico #1583PT worked great for me.
