Value Collection BD-18353 Fork Terminal 1/4 in Crimp 25pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD-18353 is a standard fork terminal designed for secure, reliable wire termination in electrical panel and control wiring applications. Featuring a crimp-style connection and partial nylon insulation, this terminal is rated for 600 volts and accommodates a 1/4 inch stud size. The copper contact with TiN (titanium nitride) plating resists corrosion and provides consistent conductivity. The yellow color coding helps technicians quickly identify wire gauge range during installation. This terminal is sold in a package of 25 units, making it practical for service kits or panel builds.

This fork terminal is suited for residential and light commercial electrical and control wiring work. It is commonly used in HVAC control panels, electrical enclosures, and equipment wiring where a spade-style termination to a screw or stud is required. The partially insulated nylon body offers protection at the barrel while leaving the fork exposed for easy stud fastening. Electricians and HVAC technicians working on control circuit wiring will encounter this style of terminal in low-voltage and line-voltage panel assemblies alike.

Key Features

• Crimp connection type for fast, tool-based termination without soldering
• Rated at 600 volts for use in standard electrical panel applications
• 1/4 inch stud size fits common screw terminal and bus bar configurations
• Copper contact with TiN plating for corrosion resistance and long-term conductivity
• Partially insulated nylon body for handling safety and wire organization
• Yellow color coding for quick visual wire gauge identification

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service stock fork terminal for use with 1/4 inch stud electrical connections in residential and commercial electrical and HVAC control panel applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or qualified HVAC technician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. De-energize all circuits before terminating wires. Use a calibrated ratcheting crimp tool sized for the terminal gauge to ensure a proper mechanical and electrical connection. Do not over-crimp or use pliers as a substitute for a proper crimping tool, as this can damage the nylon insulation and compromise contact integrity.
