Value Collection BD-18362 Locking Fork Terminal 600V

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD-18362 is a locking fork terminal designed for secure, vibration-resistant wire termination in electrical wiring applications. Rated at 600 volts, this crimp-style terminal features a partially insulated nylon body in red, indicating compatibility with standard wire gauge ranges for red-coded terminals. The copper contact with tin (TiN) plating resists corrosion and promotes reliable conductivity at the connection point. A locking fork design holds the terminal on the stud even before the fastener is fully tightened, reducing the risk of the terminal spinning or falling free during service. This terminal meets CSA and UL standards, making it suitable for use in code-compliant electrical installations.

This terminal is used in residential, commercial, and light industrial wiring where a reliable fork-style ground or equipment connection to a number 10 stud is required. Typical applications include panel wiring, motor connections, appliance terminations, and control circuit wiring. The crimp connection method is standard across HVAC control wiring, electrical panels, and mechanical equipment service. Sold in a package of 50, this terminal suits service technicians, electricians, and maintenance professionals who need a reliable supply of code-compliant terminals on the job.

Key Features

• Locking fork design prevents terminal from rotating or dropping off stud during installation
• 600-volt rating suitable for standard low- and line-voltage wiring applications
• Copper contact with TiN plating for corrosion resistance and reliable conductivity
• Partially insulated nylon body in red for quick gauge identification
• Crimp termination method for fast, consistent connections without soldering
• CSA Certified and UL Listed (UL File E147876) for code-compliant installations

Compatibility

Designed for use with number 10 stud sizes in standard crimp-style fork terminal applications across residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical wiring systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. De-energize the circuit completely before terminating or servicing any wiring connection. Use a calibrated crimp tool rated for the terminal barrel size to ensure a gas-tight mechanical connection. Do not solder over a crimped connection, as this can introduce brittleness at the barrel joint.
