Presa
Un dispositivo di cablaggio montato su flangia femmina con gli elementi conduttori incassati dietro l'accoppiamento
superficie. Spesso indicato come uno sbocco. Questo tipo di dispositivo è normalmente cablato per essere attivo quando non lo è nulla
collegato ad esso. Perciò, le prese sono collegate alla fonte di alimentazione.
RoHS
Restrizioni per sostanze pericolose; Una direttiva europea che stabilisce che i materiali non possono essere utilizzati
la fabbricazione di determinati prodotti. I materiali limitati includono: Guida, Mercurio, Cadmio, Esavalente
Cromo, Bifenili polibromurati, e etere difenilico polibromurato.
ROJ
The designation to Remove Outer Jacket.
Slitting
The designation to separate insulated parallel wires.
Straight Blade
Refers to a NEMA device with straight prongs.
Stripping
The designation of the removal of the insulation or jacket from a conductor/wire.
Temperature Rating
The maximum temperature at which insulation will maintain its integrity.
Terminal
A terminal is the point at which a conductor from an electrical component, device or network comes to
an end and provides a point of connection to external circuits. A terminal may simply be the end of a
wire or it may be fitted with a connector or fastener. The connection may be temporary, as for portable
equipment, or may require a tool for assembly and removal, or may be a permanent electrical joint
between two wires or devices.
Twist-Locking
Refers to a NEMA device with circular prongs that locks the connection in place. Locking connectors
use curved blades. Once pushed into the receptacle, the plug is twisted and its now-rotated blades latch
into the receptacle. To unlatch the plug, the rotation is reversed. The locking coupling makes for a more
reliable connection in commercial and industrial settings, where vibration or incidental impact could
disconnect a non-locking connector.
UL
Underwriters Laboratories; An independent non-profit product safety and certification organization.
Voltage
The force or “push” driving electrical energy through a conductor or wire that can be compared to the
pressure of water in a pipe.
Watt
A unit of power, defined as one joule per second. Wattage is calculated as Voltage x Amperage.
Wire Harness
See: cable harness. Also known as Wiring Assembly and Wiring Loom.
