SCHÜTZINGER QUICK RELEASE TERMINALS NOW
AVAILABLE FROM JPR ELECTRONICS
Specialist distributors JPR Electronics offers
a wide range of quick-release terminals
manufactured by market leading connector
manufacturer Schützinger. Since the launch
of their first quick-release terminal an entire
product family has emerged and successfully
established itself in the market. Quick-release
terminals provide the ideal connection
in any situation where a safe and rapid
connection must be created quickly between
a conductor or cable and another device.
Typical applications for quick release
terminals include instrumentation, burn-in,
test and repair bays or any test applications
in which cables, conductors or electrical
devices need to undergo functional testing.
Wires are connected to the terminals by
pressing on the head of the terminal post
and inserting them between the connection
jaws where the strong internal compression
spring guarantees good contact. Versions are
available with 2 apertures as well as shock-
proof versions for applications operating

above protective low voltage levels. Quick
release Kelvin four-wire terminals are also
available allowing measurements to be
made without errors caused by transition
resistance of the measuring leads and any
thermovoltages.
Schützinger quick release terminals are
rated from 5A to 16A can accommodate
panel thicknesses from 0.8 to 7mm and
are available with options of termination
safety shield and 4mm plug connection
for converting existing terminals to quick
release. Standard colours are blue, green,

Paul Raynor, Director of JPR Electronics,
comments, “Schützinger quick release
terminals are particularly suitable for
quick connection and testing of electronic
products and electrical appliances as they
come off the end of production lines. They
can be used for both functional testing and
burn-in if required.”

quick release terminals JPR can supply
customised Schützinger products. Custom
options include reduction of the spring
force for frequent use with low electrical
load, increased spring force for higher
electrical loads, additional colours and
colour combinations for casing and button,
