Value Collection BOW-23857 Fork Terminal Crimp 8 10

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BOW-23857 is a standard fork terminal designed for crimp-style wire termination in electrical and control wiring applications. The terminal features a partially insulated polyolefin heat-shrink sleeve in blue, making it easy to identify by wire gauge during installation. The fork (spade) configuration allows the terminal to connect to a stud or screw without fully removing the fastener, which speeds up service work on panels, junction boxes, and equipment control circuits. This terminal is RoHS compliant and suited for use by electricians, HVAC technicians, and other trades who perform wire termination work on low-voltage and line-voltage systems.

This fork terminal is intended for use with number 8 and number 10 stud sizes, covering a wide range of panel, equipment, and control board connections. It is appropriate for residential and light commercial applications where a reliable, insulated crimp connection is required. The blue color coding follows standard wire-terminal color conventions to help technicians quickly match terminals to the correct wire gauge during assembly or field repair.

Key Features

• Partially insulated polyolefin sleeve provides electrical insulation and strain relief at the barrel
• Blue color coding for fast visual gauge identification during installation
• Fork (spade) configuration allows connection without fully removing the stud or screw
• Compatible with number 8 and number 10 stud sizes for versatile fitment
• Crimp connection type for secure, vibration-resistant termination
• RoHS compliant construction

Compatibility

Designed as a standard OEM-style crimp fork terminal for use with number 8 and number 10 studs in electrical panels, equipment control boards, and junction box terminations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician or trade technician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. De-energize and lock out the circuit before terminating or removing any wiring. Use a calibrated ratcheting crimp tool sized for the terminal and wire gauge to ensure a proper mechanical and electrical connection. Do not over-crimp or use pliers as a substitute for a proper crimping tool, as this can damage the insulation sleeve and weaken the connection.
