RS PRO Insulated Crimp Spade Connector Plastic, Green

RS PRO introduces a fantastic range of fork terminal connectors, also known as spade terminals. Fork terminals are the ideal solution for connecting a single wire to an electrical system via a stud, screw or bus bar. These terminals offer high-grade ABS plastic insulation making them more reliable and durable than non-insulated terminals. With a centre contact made from nickel-plated brass and a transfer termination method, these terminals are designed to protect your wires from fraying whilst providing high levels of protection even in environments where vibration is a factor. Connecting cables with a fork plug is a fast and easy way to ensure a solid connection as the screw or bolt can be left partially screwed in when a terminal is attached or removed.

There are many variations of fork terminals including colour, size, uninsulated and insulated varieties so it’s important to have a selection of cable leads of various lengths especially if you frequently use multi-meters, voltage meters, or oscilloscopes. Fork terminals, also known as spade connectors, are found in many different industries as they are especially suited to keep a strong reliable connection in various environments including ones where vibration is a factor, commonly found in
Electrical panels
Terminal blocks
Wiring harnesses

Crimping your terminals to your wires is an easy and quick process! Just place your wire into the hollow tube of the terminal and then use either a plier type crimp tool or a rachet type crimp tool to secure it. Plier type crimp tools are inexpensive and ideal for everyday use of common terminals including fork terminals. Rachet type crimp tools are designed for more specific terminals, such as double crimp or disconnects, as they measure the exact amount of force required for the crimp before releasing.
