RS PRO Red Insulated Female Spade Connector, Receptacle, 6.3 x 0.8mm Tab Size, 0.5mm² to 1.5mm²

A high-quality fully insulated crimp receptacle terminal sometimes known as a female quick disconnect. Female crimp receptacles are a type of electrical wiring connector which, when mated with a male tab connector (or male quick disconnect), provide a fast and reliable interconnect between two wires.
The body of the connector is made from tin plated brass and features an additional internal copper sleeve. This copper sleeve strengthens the barrel and provides a robust and secure crimp. The sleeve also protects the wire against stress and high vibration.
Featuring insulation which covers the entire length of the connector bodyproviding protection against electric shock and acts as a ’mini’ enclosure to protect the connection from dirt, grease, liquids and other contaminants when mated.

Provides quick and easy connection and disconnection
Fully insulated for protection against electrical shock and shorting from exposed leads. Also provides protection to the electrical connection
Double crimp design with an internal copper sleeve for added strength and robust crimp joint
Tin plating for resistance to corrosion, added strength and excellent conductivity
Colour coded insulation for easy identification of terminal size
Funnelled insulation design allows easy wire insertion

The female connector or receptacle is crimped onto the end of the stranded electrical wire using the appropriate tooling, no solder is required. The male tab or blade connector on the opposing wire simply slots into the opening on the end of the receptacle to form a secure and reliable electrical connection.

When selecting the right terminal for your application, you should consider the following:

Strip the end of the wire and cut it to the same length as the terminal. Insert the stripped end into the barrel making sure no bare wire is visible. The connector is then ready to be crimped on to the end of the wire. Pliers or a ratchet tool can be used but, for a better quality crimp, it is better to use a ratchet crimping tool. A ratchet crimping tool is preferable as the handles will remain locked until a full crimp cycle is completed which will prevent partial crimps. Insert the barrel of the receptacle terminal into the appropriate crimping section (indicated by sizes marked on the tool). Squeeze the tool handles together until the ratchet releases. The crimped receptacle terminal is now ready for mating with a male tab terminal to form a secure electrical connection.
