Tin-plated brass contacts provide extra strength and conductivity and are resistant to corrosion, oxidation and degradation. The connector is designed for crimp termination, which lets you create mechanically strong solder-free joints using just a pair of pliers. It's a method that's suited for large and small cross-section wires, which can be easily slotted into the component once the other wire has been crimped on the opposite end.

This spade connector is most commonly found in automotive electronics applications and domestic appliances such as dishwashers.
