Diversitech DIVE-61214 Spade Terminal 22-18 Awg No. 6

Product Description

The DIVERSITECH DIVE-61214 is a spade terminal designed for securing electrical conductors to a No. 6 stud connection point. It accepts wire in the 22 to 18 AWG range, making it suitable for low-voltage control wiring commonly found in HVAC, refrigeration, and general electrical service work. The crimp-style spade tongue slides onto the stud and locks in place, providing a reliable mechanical and electrical connection. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and service professionals use these terminals when terminating control wires at contactors, relays, and terminal blocks.

This terminal is well suited for residential and light commercial applications where 22 to 18 AWG conductors need a fast, secure spade-style termination. Typical install scenarios include HVAC control boards, low-voltage thermostat wiring connections, and general equipment servicing where ring terminals are not practical and a quick-disconnect or stud-mount point is required.

Key Features

• Accepts 22 to 18 AWG wire for compatibility with common low-voltage control conductors
• No. 6 stud size fits standard screw terminals on contactors, relays, and terminal strips
• Spade tongue design allows installation and removal without fully extracting the stud fastener
• Crimp termination provides a solid mechanical connection without soldering

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style spade terminal for use with No. 6 stud connections accepting 22 to 18 AWG wire in HVAC, refrigeration, and general electrical control wiring applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician or licensed HVAC technician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. De-energize the circuit completely before crimping and installing any terminal connector. Use a properly sized ratcheting crimp tool rated for the wire gauge being terminated to ensure a secure, gas-tight crimp. Avoid using pliers or non-rated tools, as an improper crimp can result in high-resistance connections or conductor pullout.
