Overview

The ABB RB2253 is a Nylon-Insulated Locking Fork Terminal designed for secure and reliable electrical connections in industrial settings. This terminal features a continuously molded design for consistent performance and a funnel entry for easier wire insertion. The locking fork design ensures a snap-in-place connection, eliminating the need to remove fasteners during installation, which speeds up the process. A metal insulation grip sleeve crimps to the wire insulation, providing strain relief and protection to the crimp joint, especially in applications with high vibration. Internal barrel serrations are incorporated to ensure good wire contact and maximum tensile strength, contributing to a robust connection. The insulation is UL 94 HB flammability rated and can withstand a maximum insulation temperature of 221°F (105°C). It is UL and CSA rated up to 600V per UL 486A/B. This specific model, RB2253, is blue, accommodates wire ranges from #18 to #14 AWG, and has a #10 stud size. Its dimensions are 0.92 inches in length and 0.29 inches in width, with a maximum insulation diameter of 0.162 inches. The terminal is constructed from tin-plated copper for excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance. It is supplied in a convenient 1,000-unit pack, making it ideal for bulk industrial use and ensuring cost-effectiveness. Trust ABB Installation Products for dependable wire termination solutions.
