Constructed with a copper contact body and a partially insulated red vinyl sleeve, this terminal accepts an No. 8 stud and is rated for 600 volts. The TiN-plated copper contact provides a reliable, low-resistance connection point. Licensed electricians and panel technicians use this terminal to terminate stranded or solid conductors to bus bars, lug blocks, and equipment grounding points where a secure, removable ring is not required but positive mechanical capture is.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fork terminal is suited for residential, commercial, and light industrial wiring tasks where a crimp-style termination to a No. 8 stud is needed. Typical applications include control panel wiring, equipment grounding, and branch-circuit terminations. The red color coding assists technicians in identifying wire gauge groupings at a glance during installation and inspection. Sold in a package quantity of 100, this terminal is a standard stocking item for electrical contractors and service technicians.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCrimp-style termination rated for 600 volts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePartially insulated red vinyl sleeve for wire gauge identification and finger protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCopper contact with TiN plating for corrosion resistance and reliable conductivity\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDesigned for No. 8 stud size with a fork width of 0.31 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets UL 486A, UL 486B, CSA 22.2, and RoHS compliance standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePackage quantity of 100 units per package\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style crimp fork terminal for use with No. 8 stud electrical connections in standard residential and commercial electrical installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. De-energize all circuits and verify zero voltage with a meter before terminating conductors. Use a properly calibrated ratcheting crimp tool sized for the conductor gauge to ensure a gas-tight crimp. Do not use this terminal with aluminum conductors unless the product is specifically listed for aluminum use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTerminal Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard Fork\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVoltage Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 600 volts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStud Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: No. 8\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFork Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.31 inches\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\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsulation Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsulation Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Partially Insulated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e: Red\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Crimp\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 100\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\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-8F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"THOMAS \u0026 BETTS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51539073859890,"sku":"18RA-8F","price":129.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/21ebe6df724f155736c1e8548c864684.jpg?v=1785834426","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/thomas-betts-18ra-8f-fork-terminal-red-vinyl-8-stud-600v","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
