A bolt is a rod shaped fastener having external threads that can fit into the threads of any other object most often a nut. It is designed for holding two objects together. It is made up of metal and can be rolled into and out of a material. These bolts come in various shapes and sizes and can either be fully or partially threaded. Bolts can be classified into many types depending upon the materials used in making them and their shapes. On the basis of materials used they are bronze bolts, stainless steel bolts, iron bolts, galvanized bolts etc. On the basis of their shapes the different types of bolts are:

Anchor Bolts Carriage Bolts Hex Bolts

Eye Bolts Hook Bolts T-Bolts

Clips are items that are used for the purpose of holding a cable, connecting lead-acid batteries, inserting fuse etc. They are generally made of metals like aluminum, stainless steel and bronze. The different types of clips can be classifies on the basis of their uses like:

Battery Clips Fuse Clips Spring Clips

Mounting Brackets Cable Brackets Speaker Brackets

Conduit fittings are especially designed to connect conduits, which are electrical pipes used for protecting and routing electrical wiring. A conduit fitting is first put into a hole in the junction box and then the threaded end is set with a ring from the junction box. A conduit fitting also has a gasket cover that can be removed for permitting access to the pipe for pulling the wires if needed. There are many types of conduit fittings namely:

Conduit Clamps Electrical Boxes

Expansion Fittings Sealing Fittings

Fasteners are devices that are used to align two objects together. These fasteners are used in various electrical circuits and can be used for either soldering or connecting two electrical objects. Some of the most commonly used fasteners are nuts, rivets, screws, sealants and washers. Fasteners are made up of various materials like brass, nylon, plastic, rubber, sheet-metal and steel. They are used for many purposes like for inserting, latching, welding, for fastening in a loop formation etc. The electrical fasteners are of many types depending upon their usage and materials used in making them. According to the usage the various types of fasteners are:

Brass Fasteners Nylon Fasteners Plastic Fasteners

Rubber Fasteners Sheet Metal Fasteners Steel Fasteners

On the basis of their usage the different types of fasteners are:

Cable Tie Fasteners Panel Fasteners Insert Fasteners Loop Fasteners

Nuts Screws Rivets

Electrical hand tools are tools that are operated manually. Their main function is to hold objects using leverage. The electrical hand tools are also used for many other purposes like for gripping, turning, cutting, pulling, crimping, inserting and tightening various electrical objects and materials. The various types of electrical hand tools are differentiated on the basis of their uses like:

Screw Drivers Pliers

Wire Crimpers Wire Cutters

Electrical holders are used in various electrical devices to fix batteries, bulbs, lamps, fuse, carbon brush etc. These holders have connection leads that aid in connecting them to a power source. They are made of plastic, brass, ceramic, stainless steel etc. The different types of electric holders are classified on the basis of their usage and the materials used in making them. On the basis of their usage the different types of electrical holders are

Battery Holders Fuse Holders Terminal Lugs

Brush Rings Lamp Holders

On the basis of materials used in making them the different types of electrical holders are:

Brass Lamp Holders

Carbon Brush Holders

Electrical tapes are used primarily for insulating electrical wires and other materials, which conduct electricity. These tapes are generally color coded for representing the specific usage of the wire (whether it is a power or ground wire). These tapes are made of many types of plastic but tapes made from vinyl are the most popular. Electrical tapes are capable of resisting UV rays and are more stretchable thereby providing insulation for a longer period of time. These tapes are also used for lighting cables to the truss in stagecraft. The most commonly used electrical tape is wire tape. There are many kinds of tapes and they are generally differentiated on the basis of their usage like:

Wire Tape

Conductive Tape

Electrical terminals refer to those positions in a circuit or device where the connections are generally established or broken. The terminals are fixed at the end of a transmission line to match the impedance and minimize reflections in the signal. The different types of terminals on the basis of their uses are:

Battery Terminals

Solder Terminals

Wire nuts are devices most commonly used for connecting or fastening two wires together. Wire nuts are available in a many shapes and sizes and are made of plastic. Inside the outer plastic covering there is a tapered conducting metal, which is threaded with a wire to hold them in place. The two wires to be joined are twisted together and the wire nut is fixed onto the wires to make electrical connection. The different kinds of wire nuts are often classified on the basis of their design like crown wire nuts, closed end wire nuts and winged wire nuts.
