Value Collection BOW-23840 Fork Terminal Yellow Crimp

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BOW-23840 is a standard fork terminal designed for crimp-style electrical connections in low-voltage wiring applications. It features partial insulation made from polyolefin heat-shrink material and is color-coded yellow for quick wire gauge identification during installation. The open-fork (spade) design allows the terminal to be secured under a screw or stud without fully removing the fastener, making it a practical choice for panel wiring, control circuits, and equipment termination work. This terminal is appropriate for electricians, HVAC controls technicians, and other trades requiring fast, reliable solderless connections on stud sizes 4 and 6.

This fork terminal is suited for residential and light commercial electrical work where crimp terminations are standard practice. Typical applications include control panel wiring, instrument connections, and branch circuit terminations on screw or stud-style terminals. The yellow color coding follows conventional wire gauge identification standards, helping technicians quickly sort and verify connections during assembly or service work. It is sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 25 units.

Key Features

• Partially insulated polyolefin construction provides dielectric protection at the barrel while leaving the fork exposed for stud contact
• Yellow color coding for fast visual identification by wire gauge during installation
• Crimp connection type — no soldering required, compatible with standard ratchet or hand crimp tools
• Open-fork (spade) design fits stud sizes 4 and 6 without fully removing the fastener
• RoHS compliant materials

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-use crimp fork terminal for use with number 4 and number 6 screw or stud terminations in electrical control and wiring applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician or trained technician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. De-energize and lock out the circuit before terminating or inspecting any connections. Use a calibrated crimp tool rated for the terminal barrel size to ensure a gas-tight mechanical connection — do not solder over a crimped terminal. Verify stud size compatibility before seating the fork under the fastener.
