Overview

ABB KV18-6LF-M insulated vinyl locking fork terminal connects 22-16 AWG wires to #6 studs with a secure, vibration-resistant grip. The red vinyl insulation provides dielectric strength and color-coded identification for quick circuit tracing in industrial panels. Each terminal features a locking design that prevents accidental disconnection during maintenance or vibration-prone operations. The fork shape ensures broad contact surface with the stud, reducing resistance and heat buildup in high-current applications. Supplied in a bulk package of 1000 units for efficient inventory management and cost-effective procurement. Designed for use in control panels, motor starters, and distribution boards where reliable, insulated connections are required. Compatible with standard #6 studs and suitable for both copper and aluminum conductors when used with appropriate crimp tools. The vinyl insulation meets UL 94 V-0 flammability standards, ensuring safety in high-temperature environments. Ideal for applications in manufacturing, automation, and renewable energy systems where durable, insulated terminations are critical.
