Value Collection BD-18348 Fork Terminal 1/4 Inch Stud 50 Pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD-18348 is a standard fork terminal designed for secure, low-resistance wire terminations in electrical wiring assemblies. The terminal features a crimp connection type with a partially insulated nylon sleeve in blue, making it easy to identify by wire gauge during installation. Copper contacts with a TiN (titanium nitride) plating provide reliable conductivity and resistance to corrosion. Rated at 600 volts, this terminal suits a wide range of branch circuit and control wiring applications. Electricians and panel technicians use this style of terminal to fasten conductors to stud-mounted lugs, bus bars, and terminal blocks.

This fork terminal is suited for residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical work where a 1/4 inch stud connection is required. Common applications include control panels, junction boxes, and equipment wiring where conductors must be secured to a threaded stud or screw. The blue color coding indicates a specific wire gauge range per standard color convention for insulated terminals. Each package contains 50 pieces, making it practical for contractors stocking service vehicles or panel shops completing production runs.

Key Features

• Crimp connection type for fast, consistent terminations without soldering
• Copper contact material with TiN plating for conductivity and corrosion resistance
• 600-volt rating suitable for branch circuit and control wiring environments
• 1/4 inch stud size fits standard terminal block studs, bus bars, and equipment lugs
• CSA Certified and UL Listed for code-compliant installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-stock fork terminal for electrical wiring applications requiring a 1/4 inch stud crimp-style connection in panels, junction boxes, and control assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. De-energize and lock out the circuit before terminating any conductors. Use a calibrated ratchet crimping tool rated for the terminal and wire gauge to ensure a proper mechanical and electrical connection. Do not over-crimp or substitute a non-rated tool, as this can compromise the integrity of the termination.
