Thomas & Betts 14RB-8FL Locking Fork Terminal

Description:

The Thomas & Betts 14RB-8FL Sta-Kon® Locking Fork Terminal is used to provide a secure crimp connection for 18–14 AWG copper conductors terminated to #8 stud electrical connections. Commonly installed in industrial control panels, motor control centers, switchgear, machinery, HVAC equipment, and electrical distribution systems, this vinyl-insulated locking fork terminal features a specially designed tongue that installs like a fork while locking securely like a ring terminal. Electricians, panel builders, and maintenance technicians use this terminal for new installations, repairs, retrofits, and replacement of crimped electrical terminations.

Applications:

The Thomas & Betts 14RB-8FL is designed for terminating stranded copper conductors in low-voltage electrical systems. It is ideal for industrial automation, OEM control panels, motor starters, relay panels, HVAC equipment, process control systems, and electrical maintenance applications where vibration-resistant, insulated fork terminals are required for reliable field wiring.
