Description
Utilux Blade Terminals (Lipless)
A blade terminal pushes into a matching socket contact, rather than bolting to a stud like a ring terminal. Lipless blade terminals have a plain, flat blade with no raised lip at its base, for socket housings that need a smooth-sided blade rather than a locking lip.
A crimping tool forms the joint onto the conductor. Consequently, the finished terminal simply pushes into its matching socket contact, sliding in and out freely for a straightforward plug-in connection.
Sizes and Colours
Specifically, this range covers two colour-coded conductor sizes, both with the same 28.5mm x 2.2mm blade and a pack of 100.
- Red – 0.5mm² to 1.5mm²
- Blue – 1.5mm² to 2.5mm²
Applications
Installers use lipless blade terminals wherever a socket housing takes a plain blade rather than a lipped one. Accordingly, this style suits equipment panels and general wiring where the terminal does not need to lock into place. Generally, it is a straightforward alternative to a lipped blade terminal on housings built for a smooth-sided contact.
Correct crimping always requires a crimping tool matched to the conductor size. Additionally, installers should confirm the socket housing accepts a lipless blade before ordering, since a lipped and a lipless blade are not always interchangeable in the same housing. Overall, checking the housing first avoids ordering the wrong blade style for an existing connector.
