Overview

The Panduit PN18-8FF-3K flanged fork terminal is a nylon-insulated, metal insulation grip sleeve terminal engineered for 22 to 18 AWG wire ranges with a #8 stud size. This terminal delivers a secure and reliable electrical connection in industrial and commercial applications, including control panels, machinery wiring, and electrical enclosures. The nylon insulation provides dielectric strength and abrasion resistance, while the metal insulation grip sleeve enhances wire retention and prevents pull-out during high-vibration conditions. The flanged design enables easy mounting and improved stability on terminal blocks or bus bars, ensuring consistent performance in demanding environments. Key specifications include a wire range of 22-18 AWG, a #8 stud size, and a maximum insulation temperature of 221°F (105°C). The terminal is UL 94V-0 flammability rated and UL/CSA certified up to 600V per UL 486A/B. The internal barrel serrations ensure consistent wire contact and tensile strength, while the brazed seam construction protects the terminal barrel from splitting during crimping. The compact design and durable construction make it suitable for harsh environments with mechanical stress and temperature fluctuations. Ideal for manufacturing, automation, and infrastructure projects, the PN18-8FF-3K is distributed by Gross Automation and backed by Panduit’s technical support for reliable, long-term performance.
