Thomas Betts 10RC-6FL Locking Fork Terminal 6 Stud 600V

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS 10RC-6FL is a locking fork terminal designed for secure, vibration-resistant electrical connections in panel wiring, control cabinets, and equipment terminations. The terminal features a partial vinyl insulation sleeve in yellow, a crimp connection method, and a copper contact with TiN plating for reliable conductivity and corrosion resistance. Rated at 600 volts, it accepts a No. 6 stud and measures 1.09 inches in overall length with a fork width of 0.31 inches. Licensed electricians and control panel assemblers use this terminal when a standard fork terminal is not sufficient and a positive locking connection is required.

This terminal is suited for residential and commercial electrical applications where connections must remain secure under vibration or repeated cycling. Typical installation scenarios include motor control panels, terminal blocks, switchgear wiring, and industrial equipment. The yellow color coding helps identify wire gauge range during assembly and inspection. This part is sold in packages of 50 units, making it appropriate for production wiring work and service technicians maintaining large terminal arrays.

Key Features

• Locking fork design resists loosening under vibration and mechanical stress
• Partial vinyl insulation in yellow for wire gauge identification and finger safety
• Copper contact with TiN plating for corrosion resistance and stable conductivity
• 600-volt rating suitable for standard branch circuit and control wiring
• No. 6 stud size fits common terminal block and equipment screw terminations
• Meets UL 486A, UL 486B, CSA 22.2, and RoHS compliance requirements

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style crimp fork terminal for use with No. 6 stud terminations in standard electrical panel and control wiring applications rated up to 600 volts.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician following applicable NEC requirements. De-energize and lock out the circuit before terminating any conductors. Use a calibrated ratchet crimping tool sized for the wire gauge range specified for this terminal to ensure a secure, gas-tight crimp. Do not over-insert the conductor or attempt to re-crimp a previously installed terminal.
