Ancor Nylon Flanged Spade Terminal – 22-18 AWG – #8 – 25 Pack

When you're setting up or maintaining your boating electrical connections, the right terminals can make all the difference in creating resilient and long-lasting wire terminations. Enter the Ancor Nylon Flanged Spade terminal – a product engineered to withstand the challenging conditions of the marine environment with its superior design and build.

Product Description:

The Ancor Nylon Flanged Spade Terminal is an essential component for wiring tasks in marine electronics. It is specifically tailored for 22-18 AWG (American Wire Gauge) size wires and is compatible with a #8 screw size. This terminal is sold in a pack of 25, ensuring you have a sufficient quantity for multiple connections and potential replacements on hand. The high-quality construction is focused on durability and safety, making the terminal reliable for various applications.

Key Features:

• Nylon insulated with insulation grip – The insulation grip enhances the durability and life span of the terminal by providing extra support and preventing wire stress.
• Double crimp – A firm double crimp secures the wire conductor and insulation, ensuring no slippage and strong electrical continuity.
• Funnel entry design – Simplifies the insertion process for wires, making your job quicker and reducing the chance of stray wire strands.
• UL 486C compliant – The terminal meets the safety standards set by UL (Underwriters Laboratories), affirming its safety and reliability in electrical systems.

Benefits:

The durable nylon insulation of the Ancor Nylon Flanged Spade Terminal offers easy maneuverability when crimping, and notably reduces the risk of cracking or breaking. The design of the barrel ensures a snug fit and a dependable connection between the terminal and the wire, leading to a more secure and effective electrical system. Terminals made from tinned copper not only present minimal electrical resistance but also provide exceptionally high resistance to corrosion, which is vital in the corrosive saltwater environment.

Safety Warning:

Attention is drawn to the fact that this product contains di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP), a chemical identified by California's Proposition 65 as potentially hazardous. It could potentially be a cause for cancer, birth defects, or reproductive harm. For comprehensive safety information, consulting P65Warnings.ca.gov is recommended.
