Peco Fastener C20280 Vinyl Male Spade Terminal 12-10 Awg

Product Description

The PECO FASTENER C20280 is a vinyl-insulated male spade terminal designed for secure, reliable electrical connections in a wide range of wiring applications. This terminal accepts 12 to 10 AWG wire and is sized for a number 8 stud, making it a standard choice for connecting wire leads to screw terminals, switches, and control boards. The vinyl insulation provides mechanical protection at the connection point and helps prevent accidental contact with adjacent conductors. Each jar contains 100 terminals, suited for service vans, shop stock, or installation projects requiring consistent supply on hand. Licensed electricians and HVAC technicians are the primary installers of this type of terminal.

This terminal is used across residential and light commercial electrical and HVAC work wherever a quick-disconnect or semi-permanent spade connection is needed. Common applications include control panel wiring, appliance terminations, motor lead connections, and field repair situations where a fast, clean crimp connection to a screw lug is required. The 12-10 AWG range covers the wire gauges most commonly found in branch circuit wiring, equipment leads, and low-voltage control wiring where larger conductors are used.

Key Features

• Vinyl insulation provides electrical protection and strain relief at the barrel
• Fits 12 to 10 AWG wire, covering common branch circuit and equipment lead gauges
• Number 8 stud size fits standard screw terminals found on switches, relays, and control boards
• Male spade design allows quick attachment and removal from screw-type lugs
• 100-count jar packaging supports bulk stocking for service and installation work

Compatibility

Designed as a standard OEM-style male spade terminal for use with 12 to 10 AWG conductors on number 8 stud connections in residential and light commercial electrical and HVAC wiring applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed electricians or qualified HVAC technicians following applicable NEC requirements. De-energize and lock out the circuit before terminating or replacing any spade terminal. Use a ratcheting wire crimper sized for the appropriate terminal range to ensure a gas-tight crimp. Avoid using pliers as a substitute for a proper crimping tool, as an inadequate crimp can result in high-resistance connections or pull-out failure.
