Comprehensive Spade Terminal Selection: Heat Shrink, Nylon, Vinyl, and Non-Insulated Options for Any Electrical Project
Spade terminals are designed to efficiently connect, terminate, or mate a single wire to a screw or stud-type electrical connection. Resembling a fork, the shape of the spade connector allows for easy installation and removal, making it an excellent choice for applications with limited space or where quick replacements are necessary. Also known as fork terminals, these connectors are versatile, offering performance benefits tailored to the specific requirements of various installations. Del City’s selection of spade terminals includes a wide range of characteristics such as amperage rating, insulation type, and wire gauge size, ensuring optimal performance for your unique application or project.
Del City offers spade connectors with several insulation types, including heat shrink, nylon, and vinyl, as well as non-insulated options. Heat shrink spade terminals provide a durable, secure connection, enclosing the connection entirely when heated to offer waterproof, corrosion-resistant protection with enhanced pull strength. Vinyl-insulated spade connectors offer a cost-effective solution with basic surrounding connection protection. Nylon-insulated spade connectors are known for their flexibility and resistance to heat, making them ideal for applications that require additional durability. Non-insulated spade terminals, on the other hand, are suitable for standard installations that don’t require enhanced performance. For extreme environments, high-temperature spade terminals are designed to withstand conditions where other connectors may fail. Del City’s spade terminals are available in 22-18, 16-14, and 12-10 gauge sizes, with insulated versions color-coded to industry standards for easy identification.
