Diversitech DIVE-6238 Spring Spade Connector 22-18 Awg

Product Description

The DIVERSITECH DIVE-6238 is a spring spade connector designed for securing low-voltage and control wiring at stud terminals in HVAC, electrical, and light commercial applications. The connector accepts wire gauges from 22 AWG to 18 AWG, making it suitable for the small-gauge conductors commonly found in thermostat wiring, control boards, and accessory hookups. HVAC technicians and electricians reach for this type of connector when a reliable, vibration-resistant termination is needed at a screw or stud lug without soldering or crimping a ring terminal.

This spring spade connector fits typical stud terminal applications found in residential and light commercial HVAC control panels, fan coil units, and electrical enclosures. It is well-suited for field wiring situations where a quick, secure connection to a binding post or stud lug is required. The 22-to-18 AWG wire range covers the most common low-voltage signal and control wire sizes used in HVAC service work.

Key Features

• Spring spade design locks onto stud terminals without fastener removal
• Accepts 22 AWG to 18 AWG wire for common low-voltage and control circuit wiring
• Suited for screw, stud, and binding-post termination points
• Compact form factor works in tight panel and enclosure spaces

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose spring spade stud connector for low-voltage control wiring applications in HVAC, electrical, and light commercial service work where 22 to 18 AWG wire terminations are required.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified HVAC technician or licensed electrician. De-energize the circuit and confirm zero voltage with a meter before making or breaking any wiring connections. Strip wire to the connector manufacturer's recommended strip length, insert the conductor fully, and seat the spade securely onto the stud terminal before restoring power. Follow applicable NEC guidelines for low-voltage wiring terminations.
