How to Connect F1 Terminals

Strong connection points between electronic components will help reduce the likelihood of malfunctions and failures within an electrical system. Certain types of batteries and wire connections may feature "Blade" type F1 terminals. Terminals such as F1 connectors feature a rectangular shape with a width of 4.8 mm and allow a convenient way to connect circuits without the need for hardwiring. Connecting F1 terminals is an easy task with the right tools and supplies available.

Instructions

1

Strip 1/4-inch of insulation off the wire that will connect to the F1 terminal, using a pair of wire crimpers.

2

Twist the exposed wire strands to avoid fraying. Insert the bare wire into the barreled portion of the female quick disconnect terminal. Hold the wire and connector together with your fingers, ensuring the exposed strands of the wire do not slip out of the connectors barreled end.

3

Place the barreled end of the connector into the corresponding color-coded notch featured on the crimp tool. With the connector properly in place, crimp the connector by squeezing the handles of the wire crimper together.

4

Check the quality of the connection by attempting to pull the wire from the quick disconnect terminal.

5

Slide the quick disconnect terminal onto the rectangular portion of the F1 terminal. Check for a snug connection between the F1 terminal and the quick disconnect. Tighten the connection by carefully squeezing down the rolled edges of the female terminal, using a pair of needlenose pliers if necessary.
