HEX Fork (Spade) Type Tinned Copper Terminals – Insulated & Non-Insulated, 1.5 to 10 sq mm

HEX fork type tinned copper cable terminal ends are quick to use: the screw can be left partly in when the terminal is fitted or removed, which saves time on large jobs. They are high-conductivity copper, electro-tinned, in non-insulated and PVC-insulated versions from 1.5 to 10 sq mm, with colour-coded sleeves. Made by HEX, the brand of Brass Copper & Alloy (I) Ltd., Mumbai — an ISO 9001 company whose products are tested by CPRI (India), UL (USA), KEMA (Netherlands) and SIRIM (Malaysia).

Frequently asked questions

What is the advantage of a fork terminal?

It can be fitted or removed with the screw left partly in, which is faster on large jobs.

What colours are used?

Red 1.5, blue 2.5, yellow 4–6 and black 10 sq mm.

Fork or ring?

Use a ring terminal where vibration could loosen the screw; a fork is quicker to fit and remove.
