The terminal features a crimp connection method with partial vinyl insulation rated at 600 volts. The copper contact with TiN (titanium nitride) plating provides corrosion resistance and reliable conductivity. Sized for a 6 stud with a 1\/4 inch fork width and an overall length of 0.97 inches, this terminal is compact and suited for panel wiring, control circuits, and equipment terminations where a positive mechanical lock on the stud is required. Licensed electricians and instrumentation technicians are the primary installers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis locking fork terminal is suited for residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical applications where standard spade terminals are insufficient due to vibration or accidental disconnection risk. The locking design keeps the terminal seated on the stud even under mechanical stress. The red color coding indicates compatibility with wire ranges typically associated with that color in the 18 to 22 AWG range. It is appropriate for use in panel boards, junction boxes, control enclosures, and equipment wiring where a 6 stud termination is specified.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLocking fork design prevents accidental disconnection from stud under vibration or movement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCrimp connection type for fast, reliable field termination without soldering\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePartial vinyl insulation rated to 600 volts for use in standard low-voltage control circuits\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCopper contact with TiN plating for corrosion resistance and consistent electrical contact\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRed color coding for quick wire gauge identification during installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets UL 486A, UL 486B, CSA 22.2, RoHS, and UL 94 V-0 flammability standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with 6 stud hardware in standard crimp termination applications.

De-energize the circuit and verify zero voltage with a meter before terminating or removing any conductors. Use a calibrated ratcheting crimp tool appropriate for the terminal and wire gauge to achieve a proper mechanical and electrical crimp. Do not over-crimp or modify the locking tab, as deformation can compromise the retention and electrical integrity of the connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVoltage Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 600 volts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTerminal Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Locking Fork\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Crimp\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsulation Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Partially Insulated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsulation Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e: Red\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStud Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFork Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.97 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContact Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Copper\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContact Plating\u003c\/strong\u003e: TiN (Titanium Nitride)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 100 pieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCertifications\u003c\/strong\u003e: UL 486A, UL 486B, UL 94 V-0, UL Listed (File E9809), CSA 22.2, CSA Certified, RoHS Compliant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: THOMAS BETTS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 18RA-6FL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"THOMAS \u0026 BETTS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51542178529586,"sku":"18RA-6FL","price":129.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/e2656607ffc9e64aff07cb6600867962.jpg?v=1785894306","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/thomas-betts-18ra-6fl-locking-fork-terminal-6-stud-crimp","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
