Thomas Betts B14-6FL Locking Fork Terminal 600V Crimp

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS B14-6FL is a non-insulated locking fork terminal designed for secure crimp connections in electrical wiring applications. Rated at 600 volts, it features a copper contact with a titanium nitride (TiN) plating for reliable conductivity and corrosion resistance. The locking fork design prevents the terminal from backing off the stud during vibration or thermal cycling, making it a dependable choice in demanding environments. Licensed electricians and panel wiring technicians install this terminal using standard crimp tooling. It ships in a package quantity of 100 units.

This terminal is suited for residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical installations where a mechanically secure, non-insulated fork connection is required. The blue color coding assists in wire gauge identification during assembly and inspection. With a stud size of 6 and a fork width of 0.25 inches, it fits standard 6-32 and similar stud configurations. The crimp connection method provides a gas-tight termination without the need for soldering. It is well-suited for control panels, distribution boards, and equipment grounding or low-voltage signal wiring where a locking fork style is specified.

Key Features

• Locking fork design resists back-off under vibration and thermal stress
• 600-volt rating suitable for a wide range of electrical panel applications
• Copper contact with TiN plating for conductivity and corrosion resistance
• Non-insulated construction for use with separate sleeving or where bare terminations are specified
• Blue color coding supports visual wire gauge identification during installation
• Meets UL 486A, UL 486B, CSA 22.2, and RoHS requirements

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style crimp fork terminal for use with 6-stud electrical connections in standard panel wiring, control board terminations, and equipment grounding applications where a non-insulated locking fork style is required.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC requirements. De-energize and lock out the circuit before terminating any conductors. Use a calibrated crimp tool rated for the conductor size and terminal type to ensure a gas-tight connection. Do not attempt to re-crimp or solder a previously crimped terminal.
