A terminal is a conductive device for joining electrical circuits together. The connection may be temporary, as for portable equipment, or may require a tool for assembly and removal, or may be a permanent electrical joint between two wires or devices.
Terminals form a single circuit, unlike electrical connectors, which form two or more circuits.
