Thomas Betts 14RB-14F Fork Terminal 1/4 Inch Stud 600V

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS 14RB-14F is a standard fork terminal designed for reliable electrical terminations in wire harness, panel wiring, and control circuit applications. The terminal features a crimp connection style with partial vinyl insulation in blue, making it easy to identify during installation and inspection. Rated for 600 volts, it is constructed with a copper contact and a TiN (tin) contact plating that provides solid conductivity and corrosion resistance. The fork width measures 0.44 inches and the overall length is 1.11 inches. Electricians and panel builders install this terminal using standard crimping tools to create secure, code-compliant connections on 1/4-inch studs.

This fork terminal is suited for residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical work. It is commonly used when terminating control wiring to buss bars, terminal blocks, or equipment studs where a ring terminal is not preferred. The blue color coding indicates a specific wire gauge range consistent with standard color-coded terminal conventions. It is packaged in quantities of 100, making it practical for panel shops, service vehicles, and job-site kits where volume use is expected.

Key Features

• Crimp connection type for fast, consistent terminations
• Partial vinyl insulation in blue for easy visual identification

• 600-volt rating suitable for standard control and power wiring applications
• Copper contact with TiN plating for conductivity and corrosion resistance
• UL Listed and CSA Certified with RoHS compliance

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-stock fork terminal for use on 1/4-inch studs in residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical panel and control wiring applications.

Installation Notes

This terminal is installed by licensed electricians and experienced panel builders using a ratcheting or manual crimp tool rated for the applicable wire gauge. Power down and de-energize the circuit fully before terminating any conductors. Follow NEC guidelines for wire gauge selection, terminal ratings, and connector torque requirements at the stud connection point. Do not over-crimp or re-crimp a terminal once it has been seated on the conductor.
