The locking fork design prevents accidental disengagement from stud terminals, making it a reliable choice where mechanical security matters. Rated at 600 volts, the RA18-6FL features a copper contact body with a TiN (titanium nitride) plating and a red nylon insulation sleeve. The crimp connection method provides a gas-tight, mechanically sound termination when applied with the correct tooling. Red color coding indicates compatibility with 18 AWG wire ranges standard to the color convention used across this terminal series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe RA18-6FL is suited for residential and commercial electrical work, HVAC low-voltage control wiring, panel terminations, and industrial equipment connections where a number 6 stud size is used. The locking fork style is commonly specified in applications subject to vibration, repeated servicing, or where terminal walk-off is a documented concern. This terminal is sold in packages of 100 units, making it practical for service vans, panel shops, and production environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLocking fork design prevents terminal from disengaging under vibration or movement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e600 volt rating suitable for a wide range of electrical and control wiring applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTiN-plated copper contact for corrosion resistance and reliable conductivity\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRed nylon partial insulation sleeve for color-coded wire range identification\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCrimp termination provides a gas-tight mechanical connection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets UL 486A, UL 486B, CSA 22.2, RoHS, and UL 94 V-2 flammability standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with number 6 stud sizes.

De-energize and lock out the circuit before terminating or removing any wiring. Use a calibrated crimp tool rated for the wire gauge and terminal series to ensure a proper gas-tight crimp. Do not solder over a crimp termination, as this can compromise the mechanical 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\u003eStud Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFork Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.86 inches\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: Nylon\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e: Red\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\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-2, UL Listed (File E9809), CSA 22.2, CSA Certified, RoHS Compliant\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 39121432\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: RA18-6FL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"THOMAS \u0026 BETTS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51542073803058,"sku":"RA18-6FL","price":166.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/4115c294aad3a6c58f7d3f604ce36462.jpg?v=1785891187","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/thomas-betts-ra18-6fl-locking-fork-terminal-6-stud","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
