Flag Terminal Cimco 180256 Brass Straight Connector

The Flag Terminal Cimco 180256 Brass Straight Connector is a straight-design electrical terminal made with brass plating to provide improved conductivity and long-term durability. Designed as a flag-style connector, it facilitates a compact connection where a flat mating surface is required and supports reliable mechanical and electrical contact in a variety of low-voltage wiring tasks for home appliances and related equipment.

Advantages

Brass plating enhances electrical conductivity and resists corrosion for stable performance over time. The straight connector geometry simplifies installation in confined spaces and allows for direct inline connections. The flag terminal format provides a secure mating area for crimping or inserting into compatible housings, offering predictable mechanical retention and electrical continuity.

Suitable for

• Repair and maintenance of home appliance wiring
• Low-voltage electrical connections where a straight flag-style terminal is required
• Replacement of worn or corroded terminals in control panels and consumer devices
• DIY electrical projects requiring robust conductive terminals

Key specifications

• Connector type: Flag (straight) terminal
• Material/finish: Brass plating for improved conductivity and corrosion resistance
• Application: Electrical connections for home appliance accessories and related low-voltage wiring
• Mounting style: Straight inline connector suitable for crimping or insertion into compatible housings

How to use

Select the appropriate wire gauge and strip the insulation to the recommended length for the terminal. Insert the stripped conductor into the barrel of the flag terminal and apply a proper crimping tool to form a secure mechanical and electrical connection. After crimping, route the terminal into the mating connector or mounting point, ensuring firm seating and that no bare conductor is exposed. Verify continuity and mechanical retention before returning the appliance or device to service.

Recommendations

Use a crimping tool matched to the wire gauge and terminal size to achieve a reliable connection; avoid soldering unless specified by the device manufacturer. Inspect terminals periodically for signs of corrosion or looseness and replace if performance degrades.
