Overview

The ABB RB2253ML is a nylon-insulated locking fork terminal designed for secure, vibration-resistant wire terminations in industrial and electrical applications. This terminal accepts wire sizes from #18 to #14 AWG and features a #10 bolt hole for compatibility with standard hardware. The tin-plated copper body ensures reliable conductivity and corrosion resistance, while the blue nylon insulation provides dielectric strength and mechanical protection. Supplied in a 1,000-pack on a left-feed mylar reel, the RB2253ML is optimized for high-volume installation workflows, reducing downtime and improving assembly efficiency. Typical applications include control panels, motor starters, junction boxes, and distribution equipment where secure, insulated terminations are required. The locking design prevents accidental disconnection under vibration or thermal cycling, ensuring long-term reliability in harsh environments. With a maximum insulation thickness of 0.162 inches and a width of 0.29 inches, this terminal fits standard terminal blocks and connectors. The left-feed reel configuration allows for smooth dispensing during automated or manual crimping operations, streamlining production processes.
