Value Collection BOW-23838 Fork Terminal Blue 6 8 Stud

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BOW-23838 is a standard fork terminal designed for crimp-style wire terminations in electrical wiring applications. It features a partially insulated construction with a blue polyolefin heat-shrink sleeve that protects the barrel and provides a secure insulation grip after crimping. The open-barrel fork configuration accepts number 6 and number 8 studs, making it a versatile choice for panel wiring, control circuits, and equipment grounding connections. Licensed electricians and electrical technicians use these terminals when terminating stranded or solid copper conductors to buss bars, terminal blocks, and equipment lugs where a removable fastened connection is required.

This fork terminal is suited for residential and commercial electrical installations, control panel assembly, and light industrial wiring tasks. The partially insulated design allows visual inspection of the conductor insertion point before crimping while still protecting the terminated end. The blue color coding assists with wire gauge identification during installation and maintenance work. These terminals are commonly installed in enclosures, junction boxes, and electrical panels wherever a reliable screw-lug or stud termination is needed on low-voltage control or power wiring.

Key Features

• Crimp connection type for reliable, gas-tight conductor termination
• Partially insulated polyolefin sleeve in blue for gauge identification
• Accepts number 6 and number 8 studs for flexible panel and equipment fitment
• RoHS compliant construction
• Open fork profile allows installation and removal without fully removing the fastener

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-style crimp fork terminal for use with number 6 and number 8 studs on terminal blocks, buss bars, and equipment binding posts in electrical wiring applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed electrician or qualified electrical technician. De-energize the circuit and verify absence of voltage before terminating any conductor. Use a calibrated ratcheting crimp tool sized for the terminal barrel to ensure a proper crimp and do not over-strip the conductor insulation beyond the barrel depth. Installations must comply with applicable NEC requirements for terminal and conductor sizing.
