Overview

The ABB A18-8FL Non-Insulated Locking Fork Terminal (SKU: A18-8FL) from ABB Installation Products is designed for secure electrical connections in industrial, commercial, and residential wiring systems. Made from high-conductivity copper, this terminal ensures minimal resistance and optimal current flow, critical for maintaining electrical efficiency. The tin plating provides enhanced corrosion resistance, extending the terminal's lifespan in harsh or humid environments. Its compact dimensions—0.75 inches in length and 0.29 inches in width—allow for installation in tight spaces, such as control panels, junction boxes, or equipment enclosures where space optimization is essential. The locking fork design securely grips wire gauges ranging from #22 to #16 AWG, preventing accidental disconnection due to vibration or movement. A #8 bolt hole accommodates standard hardware, enabling easy attachment to bus bars, terminal blocks, or other conductive surfaces. This non-insulated terminal is ideal for applications requiring direct metal-to-metal contact, such as motor connections, lighting circuits, or power distribution systems. With a durable construction and reliable performance, the A18-8FL meets the demands of high-performance electrical terminations in both indoor and outdoor settings.
