This partially insulated terminal features a red vinyl sleeve and accepts an 8 stud size, making it a common choice for 18 AWG connections in control panels, junction boxes, and general electrical assemblies. The copper contact body is plated with TiN (titanium nitride) for reliable conductivity and corrosion resistance. Rated at 600 volts, the TV18-8F-XV meets RoHS compliance and UL 94 V-0 flame-retardant requirements. It is sold in a package quantity of 75 pieces per order.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis terminal is used in residential and commercial electrical work where a secure, vibration-resistant fork connection to a screw or stud is required. Typical applications include control wiring, appliance terminations, HVAC low-voltage panels, and equipment grounding connections. The partially insulated design allows the installer to verify contact seating while still providing insulation over the barrel. The red color coding assists in quick wire gauge identification during wiring and inspection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePartially insulated vinyl sleeve in red for 18 AWG wire gauge identification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrimp connection type for fast, consistent termination without soldering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCopper contact body with TiN plating for conductivity and corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated 600 volts for general electrical and control wiring use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoHS compliant and UL 94 V-0 rated insulation material\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePackage quantity of 75 pieces per unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or standard crimp fork terminal for use with 8 stud sizes in general electrical, control panel, and HVAC wiring applications where partially insulated vinyl terminals are specified.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed electrician following applicable NEC guidelines. De-energize the circuit completely before terminating any wires. Use a calibrated ratcheting crimp tool sized for the wire gauge and terminal barrel to ensure a gas-tight crimp. Do not over-strip wire insulation, and verify the fork seats fully against the stud before torquing the fastener.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTerminal Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard Fork\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: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e: Red\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Crimp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVoltage Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 600 volts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStud Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8\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\u003eFork Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.252 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.886 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0300 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 75 pieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.19 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: RoHS Compliant, UL 94 V-0\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: TV18-8F-XV\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"THOMAS \u0026 BETTS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51542223847730,"sku":"TV18-8F-XV","price":55.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/68e49b312795341448fe9484b848ad61.jpg?v=1785895593","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/thomas-betts-tv18-8f-xv-fork-terminal-red-8-stud-600v-75pk","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
