Value Collection BOW-23840-1 Fork Terminal Crimp

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BOW-23840-1 is a standard fork terminal designed for crimp-style electrical connections in low-voltage wiring applications. The terminal features a partially insulated body with yellow polyolefin heat-shrink insulation, making it easy to identify in multi-conductor wiring assemblies. Compatible with stud sizes 6 and 8, it provides a secure mechanical and electrical connection at terminal blocks, bus bars, and equipment chassis. Electricians and wiring technicians install this type of terminal using a ratchet-style or hand crimp tool. The yellow color coding indicates wire gauge range per standard terminal color conventions used throughout the electrical trade.

This fork terminal is suited for use in residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical wiring where a reliable, semi-permanent screw-terminal connection is required. It fits into control panels, junction boxes, and field wiring terminations across HVAC controls, electrical distribution, and equipment servicing applications. The crimp connection method eliminates the need for soldering and delivers a consistent, repeatable termination. This product is sold individually but carries a minimum order quantity of 25 units.

Key Features

• Yellow polyolefin insulation for standard wire gauge color identification
• Partially insulated design provides access for tooling while protecting the conductor
• Crimp connection type — no soldering required
• Fits stud sizes 6 and 8 for versatile termination points
• RoHS compliant construction

Compatibility

Designed as a standard crimp fork terminal for use at number 6 and number 8 screw or stud terminations in electrical control panels, junction boxes, and equipment wiring harnesses.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a calibrated hand or ratchet crimp tool rated for the appropriate wire gauge and terminal type — do not use pliers as a substitute. De-energize all circuits before terminating or inspecting wiring connections. Follow applicable NEC requirements for terminal torque and conductor sizing at the stud connection point. Strip conductor insulation only to the depth specified by the terminal barrel length to avoid exposed copper.
