What This Terminal Does in the Assembly
The TE Connectivity 61280-1 is a crimp-style button terminal designed for 16-20 AWG wire. It terminates with a standard crimp tool and mates into a corresponding receptacle housing that accepts this button contact profile. The button terminal shape provides a defined mating surface for low-resistance connections in power and signal circuits where a round pin isn't required.
Use the manufacturer's application tooling for consistent crimp height.
Packaging for Production
Supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging with Cut Tape (CT) options for smaller quantities. The reel format suits automated crimping machines; the cut tape works for hand-feed or low-volume assembly.
