It accepts conductors from 22 AWG minimum to 16 AWG maximum and fits a Number 8 stud. The barrel is constructed from electrolytic tin-plated copper with a brazed seam that is serrated internally to deliver high pull-out resistance. The red PVC insulation sleeve is extra-long to provide stress relief at the wire flex point and to support color-coded identification of conductor size ranges. Rated to 105 degrees C, the RA1147 is approved to UL 486A and CSA 22.2. Licensed electricians and control panel assemblers are the primary installers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fork terminal is suited for residential and commercial electrical work wherever a reliable, reusable screw-down connection to a Number 8 stud is required. Typical applications include motor control panels, switchgear, HVAC control boards, and equipment ground connections. The red color coding quickly identifies the 22-16 AWG range during panel wiring and inspection. The STA-KON series RA product line is manufactured in the United States and sold individually or in quantity lots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eElectrolytic tin-plated copper barrel resists corrosion at connection points\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrazed seam barrel with serrated interior for high pull-out value\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eExtra-long PVC insulation sleeve provides stress relief at the wire flex point\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRed color coding identifies 22-16 AWG conductor range at a glance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated to 105 degrees C for use in high-temperature environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUL 486A and CSA 22.2 approved for compliance-critical installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard OEM-style fork terminal for crimped wire connections to Number 8 studs using 22 AWG to 16 AWG conductors in vinyl-insulated termination applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by licensed electricians or qualified control panel assemblers. De-energize all circuits before terminating or inspecting wiring connections. Use a ratcheting crimping tool rated for insulated terminals in the 22-16 AWG range to achieve a proper crimp. Verify stud torque requirements per NEC guidelines and the equipment manufacturer's documentation before final assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTerminal Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Fork (Spade)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsulation Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Vinyl Insulated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Conductor Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 22 AWG\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Conductor Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 16 AWG\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStud Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: Number 8\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e: Red\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 105 degrees C\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBarrel Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Electrolytic Tin Plated Copper\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTerminal Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.97 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTerminal Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.31 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApprovals\u003c\/strong\u003e: UL 486A, CSA 22.2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/strong\u003e: United States\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.22 pounds\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: RA1147\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"THOMAS \u0026 BETTS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51283937689906,"sku":"RA1147","price":78.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/309279638.jpg?v=1781063672","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/thomas-betts-ra1147-fork-terminal-22-16-awg-no-8-stud-red","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
