Description
Utilux Yellow Fork Terminals
Fork terminals crimp onto a stripped conductor and terminate in an open, Y-shaped fork end that slides under a stud or screw terminal without needing to remove the nut completely. Utilux yellow fork terminals suit stranded conductors from 2.5mm² to 6.0mm², colour-coded yellow to match this conductor range. Engineering Supplies stocks this size in the Supergrip crimp style.
Because the fork end opens at the front, installers can loosen the stud nut, slide the terminal into place and retighten it, rather than removing the nut and any washers to fit a closed ring. Consequently, fork terminals suit servicing situations where a connection needs regular disconnection and reconnection.
Stud Sizes
Specifically, Engineering Supplies stocks this size in the Supergrip crimp style only, across the following stud sizes:
- Supergrip – 3mm, 4mm, 5mm and 6mm stud sizes
Applications
Installers use fork terminals wherever a conductor terminates at a stud, screw terminal or terminal block that will need periodic disconnection, such as control panel wiring, earth connections and equipment terminals. Accordingly, this size covers the larger stud dimensions needed for heavier conductors in this equipment.
In all cases, correct crimping requires a crimping tool suited to this conductor size range. Additionally, the Supergrip crimp style adds a heavier-duty crimp barrel for extra pull-out strength, which suits the larger conductor sizes in this range. Installers should therefore confirm the stud size matches the terminal or stud being used.
