Thomas Betts TV10-8F-XV Fork Terminal 600V 8 Stud

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS TV10-8F-XV is a standard fork terminal designed for crimp-style wire termination in electrical wiring applications. The terminal features partial vinyl insulation in yellow and accepts a No. 8 stud size. It is rated for up to 600 volts and constructed with a copper contact body finished with a tin (TiN) plating for reliable conductivity and corrosion resistance. The overall length is 1.004 inches with a fork width of 0.327 inches and a contact thickness of 0.039 inches. Electricians and electrical contractors install this type of terminal during panel wiring, control wiring, and equipment connections where a secure mechanical and electrical bond is required.

This fork terminal is suited for residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical work. The crimp connection method provides a fast, gas-tight termination without soldering. The yellow color coding indicates a specific wire gauge range per standard terminal color conventions. The partial insulation design provides protection at the wire entry point while leaving the barrel visible for inspection after crimping. This terminal is appropriate for use in control panels, junction boxes, and equipment wiring where a No. 8 stud termination point is present.

Key Features

• 600-volt rating suitable for standard branch circuit and control wiring applications
• Copper contact body with TiN plating for conductivity and corrosion resistance
• Partial vinyl insulation in yellow for visual wire gauge identification
• No. 8 stud size with a fork width of 0.327 inches
• Crimp termination for fast, reliable, solder-free installation
• RoHS Compliant and UL 94 V-0 rated insulation material

Compatibility

Designed as a standard OEM-style fork terminal for crimp tool-based wire termination applications requiring a No. 8 stud size and partial vinyl insulation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. De-energize and lock out the circuit before terminating any wires. Use a calibrated ratcheting crimp tool appropriate for the terminal barrel diameter to achieve a proper gas-tight crimp. Inspect the finished crimp to confirm full barrel engagement and that no insulation has been drawn into the contact barrel.
