In electronics, a terminal is a point where electrical wires, cables or components are connected to each other to form a complete circuit. A terminal can be in the form of a screw terminal, a pin terminal or a plug/socket terminal.

Screw terminals are typically used for connecting wires or cables. They consist of a metal block that has a threaded hole into which a screw is turned to clamp down onto the wire, securing it in place.

Pin terminals are usually crimped onto the end of a wire and are designed to slide into a socket or connector. They are commonly used in automotive and industrial applications.

Plug/socket terminals allow for easy connecting and disconnecting of wires or components. These are commonly found in household appliances, computers, and audio visual equipment.
