Thomas Betts C10-14FL Locking Fork Terminal 600V

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS C10-14FL is a non-insulated locking fork terminal designed for secure crimp connections in electrical wiring applications. Rated at 600 volts, this terminal features a 1/4 inch stud size and a fork width of 0.490 inches, with an overall length of 0.850 inches. The copper contact body is plated with titanium nitride (TiN) for enhanced conductivity and corrosion resistance. Its locking design keeps the terminal seated on the stud, reducing the risk of accidental disconnection during service or vibration. Licensed electricians and electrical contractors use this terminal for panel wiring, control circuits, and equipment terminations.

This locking fork terminal suits residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical installations where a reliable, vibration-resistant crimp termination is required. The non-insulated, yellow-coded design allows for easy identification during installation and inspection. It is appropriate for use in control panels, motor connections, and terminal strip applications where a 1/4 inch stud is present.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation crimp fork terminal for electrical panels, control circuits, and equipment requiring a 1/4 inch stud locking fork connection.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC guidelines. De-energize and lock out the circuit before terminating any wiring. Use a calibrated ratcheting crimp tool appropriate for the wire gauge and terminal size to ensure a secure, gas-tight crimp. Do not over-crimp or use pliers in place of a proper crimping tool, as this can damage the contact and compromise the connection.
