Eyelet terminals

Eaton’s eyelet terminals are electrical connections used in the automotive industry to terminate a stranded wire. They are commonly used to connect wires to electrical components.

Eaton’s eyelet terminals are produced in our state-of-the-art stamping facilities and feature numerous benefits, including our ability to produce billions of parts annually that are customized to customer specifications, and an extensive product offering with internal manufacturing capability for single sourcing of large programs. Eaton also has an extensive background in die making and stamping, which enables us to meet customer timelines.

The high-quality and high-grade materials used in Eaton’s eyelet terminals make them lightweight, more resistant to severe conditions and deliver a long component service life that meet or exceed customer requirements. The over-molded eyelet terminals also can withstand high temperatures up to 200 degrees Celsius and can be produced in unique configurations.

The eyelet terminals are the ideal choice for global traditional and electrified vehicle manufacturers, as they provide high-quality electrical connections for various passenger, commercial, off-highway and electrical applications.

An eyelet is a simple connection point in a vehicle, but not limited to vehicles.  It is made from conductive material and attaches to a wire in a variety of methods.
spacer
Eyelet terminals within a connector typically are a blade (without hole) and are inserted into a spring or box. This type of terminal system is what our HBLB (High-Power Lock Box) terminals compete with. 
spacer
Eyelet needs to be attached to a wire. Typically, in manufacturing process this is in a press (we use 10T) for a mechanical crimp (where we roll the conductor and insulator wings around the wire). The other most common method or type of eyelet is a sonic weld.
spacer
Eyelets have holes. To install, you lower the eyelet down the stud and fix it in place with a nut.  In production typically DC Nut runners are used to record the parameters of the connection, torque, speed, torque achieved etc. In a consumer environment (nonproduction… at home) people typically just use a wrench to tighten it. 
spacer
Sizes meaning wire range is 0.5mm to 70mm2+. Eyelets are sized for the cable. Mechanical grips work down to 0.5mm2 and up.   Sonic welds can accommodate wire ranges or combinations, meaning one design could fit many wire configurations. (i.e 1 part with lots of volume.)
spacer
Just a standard eyelet as described above. They all connect to wires.
