About:

• A Fork Terminal is a type of electrical connector that features a fork-shaped end, which is designed to make a secure connection to a screw or bolt terminal.
• Fork terminals are commonly used in electrical and electronic systems to join wires to other components, such as circuit boards, power supplies, or terminal blocks.
• Their design allows for easy and reliable connections, especially in applications where the connection needs to be tightened or loosened frequently.

Features :

• The defining characteristic of a fork terminal is its forked (U-shaped) end. This shape is designed to fit around a screw, bolt, or stud, making it easier to connect and disconnect wires without the need for tools or soldering.

• The metal portion of a fork terminal is usually made from copper or brass, both of which are excellent conductors of electricity. Copper is particularly preferred for its superior conductivity.

•  Heavy-duty fork terminals have reinforced crimps and thicker insulation to handle higher electrical loads and more rugged environments.

•The insulating material around the terminal helps protect users from electrical shock when the terminal is in use.
