Thomas Betts TV14-8F-XV Fork Terminal 8 Stud Crimp 600V

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS TV14-8F-XV is a standard fork terminal designed for crimp-style wire terminations in electrical wiring applications. Partially insulated with a blue vinyl sleeve, this terminal accepts wire connections through a crimp process and fits an 8 stud size. Rated at 600 volts, it uses a copper contact with a tin (TiN) plating for reliable conductivity and corrosion resistance. At 0.886 inches in overall length and a fork width of 0.252 inches, it suits panel wiring, control enclosure work, and general electrical assembly where a secure, semi-insulated lug connection is required. Licensed electricians and control panel assemblers are the primary installers.

This fork terminal is suited for residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical work where wire leads must be secured to screw or stud termination points. The partially insulated vinyl design provides protection at the barrel end while leaving the fork exposed for stud connection. The blue color coding corresponds to standard wire gauge identification used in electrical assembly. This item is sold in a package quantity of 75 with a minimum order quantity of 1, making it practical for both service calls and production runs.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed electricians or qualified control panel technicians. De-energize all circuits and verify zero voltage with a meter before terminating or disturbing any wiring. Use a calibrated ratcheting crimp tool appropriate for the wire gauge and terminal series to ensure a proper crimp. Work must comply with applicable NEC requirements for terminal and conductor sizing.
