Questions Related to Electrical Connectors


 
Law
An electrical connector is a device which is used to connect electrical circuits as an interface with the help of a mechanical assembly. This device is mainly used to have temporary or permanent connection of electrical circuits. Working with electrical circuits or trying to trouble shoot problems with connectors can lead to technical questions. This article provides useful information that can help you trouble shoot connectors by answering some of the most commonly asked questions on the subject. Read on to know more.

While I am trying to replace the plug with a crimp tool as the electrical connector at the end of my Ethernet cable broke, do I have to strip the smaller wires and trim the colored wires?

You do not have to trim the colored wires as in case of a crimper, each conductor will be pierced by small metallic blades. However, you got to ensure that both sides of the cable are wired similarly. Then connect the other end of the cable and the new plug as they should have the same color sequence.

How do I go about using an electrical connector which has two female ends?

A female to female electrical connector would not help you to get connected to the power line as you can not plug it in anywhere. In this case, you could make a male adapter by buying two male cord ends and a small piece of lamp cord. You will get proper ends and cord at any home supply center. It is advisable to buy and replace one of the female connectors at one end which needs to be plugged to an electric source. Even male to male electrical connectors do not exist as one end will have electricity running in its exposed blades when you plug in the other end.

How do I get power to my 30 year old Lightolier track lights as plastic connector on the base of the lamp has failed?

You would need to buy a new head in such a situation. In case you are not able to find a new head of the same manufacturer other products on same line can help you in this as long as they are compatible and similar to the head you currently have with your track lights.

Can a loose electrical connector affect other circuits?

The loose connection would most likely affect other circuits connected to it as it leads to sudden fluctuation in power supply, thus damaging the electrical or electronic gadget connected through it. You need to ensure that there is no loose electrical connector and ensure that they are all securely attached.

An exposed electrical connector can be damaged easily and this might affect electronic gadgets connected/powered through it. Regular cleaning of the male and female points of an electrical connector using a small diameter metal brush is highly advisable to ensure that it does not get damaged. Most importantly, do not leave a male connector open and unattended as the electricity running through the exposed blades can cause serious electrical accidents. Do not try to clean the connector when it is connected to power line.

Addressed above were just a few of the most common situations that result in electrical questions. There could be many other questions and situations that you may face when working with electrical connectors. In case you face any problem while dealing with an electrical connector, it is always safer to get a professional electrician to fix it instead of trying to fix it yourself. At the very least, you should ask an electrician to answer any questions that you have and help you in fixing the problem.
