What Electro Terminal does

Electro Terminal GmbH & Co KG is an Austrian, family-led manufacturer of electromechanical connection technology founded in 1964 and headquartered in Innsbruck. The company designs and produces screwless lever connectors, spring clamp terminals, push-in wire connectors, PCB terminals, cable connection boxes, screw-tab terminal blocks, strain reliefs, and damp-proof junction boxes, with in-house capabilities spanning punching, injection moulding, assembly, toolmaking, and a test laboratory at the Archenweg production site. Its portfolio is organized around three vertical segments: lighting (screwless luminaire connectors including the SLK series, the CASAMBI-enabled SLK 8, the CLEAR RANGE sustainable-material line, MICROCON SMD PCB terminals, and LBK continuous row-lighting wiring systems), household appliances (KADO cable connection boxes, KA strain reliefs, and FKL screw-tab terminal blocks), and building installation (SDK screwless installation connectors and FD damp-proof junction boxes). Products are certified to ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 and conform to industry standards including RAST 5/10, DALI, Zhaga, and ENEC.

The company operates a B2B go-to-market anchored by a global network of more than 60 authorized sales partners and distributors across 54 countries, supplemented by direct sales support from Innsbruck for customized solutions and dedicated project teams.
