    Language help: How are these called?

    Can someone please tell me how these are called and point me to some related easier-to-use alternatives (duct tape doesn't count).

    They are called terminal strips

    How about using crimps with a crimping tool

    Sorry Debs, but you ain't using those in my workshop! They were invented by Lucas the Prince of Darkness and are guaranteed to corrode and cause voltage fluctuations. Solder joint and heat shrink only please.

    I vaguely recall the term "barrier strips", back from my high school electronics days.

    Of course, electricity was still somewhat of a novelty back then...

    Terminal Strip

    Terminal Block

    Terminal Connector

    Unless you have a specific need for connecting and disconnecting at ease, then I am with Lagonda all the way with soldering the joints and using heat shrink.
    Please don't ask me for firmware or service manuals as refusal often offends.

    Insulation displacement such as these are good for quickly connecting 2 or 3 leads together. Come in different sizes based on wire gauge.

    Much better idea as they are filled with silicon gel which keeps the moisture out.

    Years fighting dodgy Lucas electrics in classic British cars from the 60's and 70's is the reason I hate the things.
