Thomas & Betts 10RC-8FL Locking Fork Terminal Cable And Wire Accessories

Description:

The Thomas & Betts 10RC-8FL Locking Fork Terminal is used to terminate 12–10 AWG copper conductors to #8 stud connections in low-voltage electrical and control systems. Commonly installed in industrial control panels, commercial electrical equipment, machinery, HVAC systems, motor controls, and OEM assemblies, this vinyl-insulated locking fork terminal features a specially designed locking tongue, brazed seam barrel, and electro tin-plated copper construction for secure, vibration-resistant electrical connections. Electricians, maintenance technicians, and panel builders use this terminal for new installations, repairs, retrofits, and replacement of crimp-style wire terminations.

Applications:

The Thomas & Betts 10RC-8FL is designed to provide reliable crimp terminations for 12–10 AWG copper conductors on #8 screw or stud terminals. Its locking fork design allows quick installation while preventing accidental disconnection caused by vibration, making it ideal for terminal blocks, relays, contactors, circuit breakers, industrial control panels, HVAC equipment, automation systems, marine electrical installations, and OEM machinery.
