Tech/Engineering - Electronics / Elect Eng / Electricity
English term or phrase: wire lead
Electrical connection is provided by wire leads with 1/2" NPT or junction box with 1/2 "NPT

If I'm not wrong Lead wire is "hilo conductor". But I guess it is not the sames as "wire lead" which I have found as "extremidad del hilo" Is that correct? Could anyone explain me the difference? Spanish or English, no matter. Thank you all.

un alambre para hacer una conexión (terminales de alambre)
Explanation:
Resistors, capacitors, discrete semiconductors, etc. have wire leads to allow their thru-hole installation...

I guess the *lead* name comes from the fact that the wire tips lead the way when installing the component.

So a *wire lead* = un alambre para hacer la conexión. En forma más elegante he visto mucho "terminales de alambre"

The 1st. ref site illustrates this with a picture of a "power transformer with wire leads"

The 2nd one contains: "...Estas válvulas no llevaban socket y sólo tenían terminales de alambre flexible..."

Saludos...

Explanation:
La mayoría de veces que se encuentra una palabra formada con sustantivo + sustantivo en inglés, el primer sustantivo modifica o describe al segundo.

En tu caso, "lead wire" es un tipo de "wire" afectado por "lead". Según el contexto, lo he visto traducido como "conductor eléctrico principal", o "hilo guía" o cualquier combinación que se te ocurra es esos rangos.

Ahora, "wire lead" es un tipo de "lead" afectado por "wire". Por eso lo de "terminales conductoras", "extremidades", "conectores" o símiles.

Para hacerlo más divertido, existe también "lead-in wire", pero ahí ya cambiamos de regla y quiere decir simplemente "tomas" o "enchufes".

Lamentablemente nunca vi una traducción estándar para estos términos. Espero que haya aclarado algo...

Suerte,
Rossana

Usé por descontado tu contexto, por eso no uso acepciones de \"lead\" como el material, o pista, etc.

Explanation:
Tu texto sería:
Se proporciona una conexión eléctrica con extremo/terminal roscado de 1/2" NPT o con caja de conexiones con rosca de 1/2" NPT. (NPT es un tipo de rosca)

Ref. 1:
... pressure port is 1/4" NPT, 2 feet of wire lead supplied.

Ref. 2:
Wire lead aseembly

Ambas ref. contienen figuras de WIRE LEADS.

=============
LEAD WIRE = alambre/hilo/conductor (principal)

WIRE LEAD = en términos simples, es un terminal, aunque el nombre exacto depende del contexto.
