Overview

The ABB RA1253 Nylon Insulated Fork Terminal (SKU: RA1253) is a high-reliability electrical termination solution designed for secure and durable connections in industrial and commercial applications. This terminal features a copper conductor with tin plating for superior conductivity and corrosion resistance, ensuring long-term performance in demanding environments. The fork tongue design allows for quick installation without removing fasteners, while the flanged tongue provides enhanced stability during crimping. The nylon insulation is UL 94V-0 rated for flame resistance and can withstand temperatures up to 221°F (105°C), making it suitable for high-temperature applications. With a wire range of #22 to #16 AWG and compatibility with #10 bolt holes, the RA1253 accommodates a wide variety of wire sizes commonly used in control panels, panel boards, and electrical distribution systems. The internal barrel serrations ensure consistent wire contact and maximum tensile strength, while the brazed seam construction prevents terminal barrel splitting during crimping. Packaged in a cost-effective 1,000-unit quantity, this terminal is ideal for large-scale projects requiring bulk quantities. The red color coding enhances visibility for easy identification during installation and maintenance. UL and CSA rated up to 600V per UL 486A/B, the RA1253 meets stringent safety standards for electrical infrastructure applications.
