Overview

The Panduit PNF18-8F-3K is a nylon-insulated fork terminal designed for secure wire-to-stud connections in industrial and commercial electrical systems. This terminal supports 22 to 18 AWG wire sizes and features a #8 stud size for compatibility with standard hardware. The funnel entry design simplifies wire insertion, reducing installation time and minimizing errors. A metal insulation grip sleeve provides strain relief, ensuring long-term reliability under vibration and mechanical stress. The nylon insulation delivers dielectric strength up to 600V and resists moisture, chemicals, and abrasion, making it suitable for harsh environments. With UL-recognized components, this terminal meets industry safety standards for control panels, machinery wiring, and electrical distribution systems. Its compact design optimizes space in tight enclosures while maintaining robust performance.

The Easy-Twist WWC-N2-B 500-Count Bag of N-Type Red Wire Connectors are designed for use on copper wires in the 22-6 AWG size range. They’re made of flame-retardant thermoplastic rated for a maximum temperature of 105˚ Celsius (221˚ Fahrenheit). The quick-grip square spring design grips in fewer twists and can dead-end a single wire, while the ergonomic swept-back wing design and ribbed texture makes them easy to twist. Their compact design is useful for applications in tight areas or anywhere else you need to connect wires.
