Value Collection BOW-23841-1 Fork Terminal 1/4 in Stud

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BOW-23841-1 is a standard fork terminal designed for secure, low-resistance wire termination in electrical wiring applications. This crimp-style terminal features a partially insulated polyolefin sleeve in yellow, indicating compatibility with the appropriate wire gauge range for this terminal color code. The forked tongue accepts a 1/4-inch stud, allowing the terminal to be fastened under a screw or bolt without fully removing the fastener. It is installed by licensed electricians, maintenance technicians, and panel wiring professionals working on control panels, equipment wiring, and general electrical assemblies.

This fork terminal is suited for residential, commercial, and light industrial wiring tasks where a reliable, semi-permanent mechanical and electrical connection is required at a threaded stud or screw terminal. The crimp connection method provides a consistent, gas-tight joint when applied with the correct ratcheting or compound-action crimp tool. The yellow color coding aids in fast wire gauge identification during installation and inspection. The RoHS-compliant construction makes this terminal appropriate for projects with environmental compliance requirements.

Key Features

• Partially insulated polyolefin sleeve provides insulation at the barrel while leaving the fork tongue exposed for secure fastening
• Yellow color coding for quick wire gauge identification during installation
• 1/4-inch stud size accommodates standard screw and bolt termination points
• Crimp connection type delivers a reliable, gas-tight electrical joint
• RoHS compliant construction suitable for environmentally regulated applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard crimp fork terminal for use with wiring applications requiring a 1/4-inch stud termination and crimp-style installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with NEC guidelines for wire termination and connector selection. De-energize and lock out the circuit before terminating any conductors. Use a properly calibrated crimp tool rated for the terminal type to achieve a secure, low-resistance connection. Do not use pliers or non-rated tools in place of a dedicated crimp tool, as this can result in an unreliable joint.
