Thomas Betts RC10-8FL Locking Fork Terminal 600V 8 Stud

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS RC10-8FL is a partially insulated locking fork terminal designed for secure, vibration-resistant electrical connections in crimp-termination applications. Rated at 600 volts and constructed with a copper contact body plated with TiN (titanium nitride), this terminal delivers reliable conductivity and corrosion resistance. The yellow nylon insulation sleeve identifies the wire gauge range at a glance, while the locking fork design prevents the terminal from backing off a stud during service. Electricians and panel wiring technicians use this style of terminal in control panels, motor connections, and equipment grounding applications where stud-mounted terminations are required.

This terminal is suited for residential and commercial electrical work, panel fabrication, and industrial equipment wiring where an 8 stud connection point is present. The crimp connection method provides a gas-tight joint when installed with the correct crimping tool and die set. The partially insulated construction allows full visual inspection of the wire insertion before crimping. This item is sold in a package of 50 terminals, making it practical for panel shops and field service kits alike.

Key Features

• Locking fork design resists backing off stud under vibration
• 600-volt rating suitable for control and power wiring applications
• TiN-plated copper contact for conductivity and corrosion resistance
• Yellow nylon partial insulation for wire gauge identification and grip
• Crimp termination method produces a reliable gas-tight connection
• Meets UL 486A, UL 486B, UL 94 V-2, CSA 22.2, and RoHS compliance requirements

Compatibility

Designed for use with 8 stud sizes in crimp-termination electrical assemblies. Consult wire gauge range specifications and crimping tool manufacturer guidelines to confirm fitment for the intended conductor size.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with NEC requirements and any applicable local codes. De-energize and lock out the circuit before terminating or removing any wiring. Use a calibrated crimping tool with the correct die for this terminal size to achieve a proper gas-tight crimp. Do not use pliers or non-rated tools as a substitute for a proper crimping tool, as this may result in a failed termination.
