Seachoice 12-10 AWG Spade Terminal

The Seachoice 12-10 AWG Spade Terminal line gives you a sealed, corrosion-resistant way to terminate heavy-gauge wire. These 3-to-1 heat shrink spade terminals (also called fork terminals or spade connectors) are made for marine, automotive, RV, trailer and other wiring where moisture and vibration are a concern.

Key Features:

• 3:1 heat shrink tubing: A proprietary nylon/polyolefin tube shrinks tightly around the wire and gives good abrasion resistance.
• Adhesive lining: The inner lining melts and flows when heated. It forms a moisture seal that helps keep out water, salt and corrosion.
• Tin-plated copper barrel: Seachoice describes its heat shrink terminals as 99.9% pure copper with a seamless tube, tin plated. This gives good conductivity and corrosion resistance in harsh environments.
• Clear tubing: You can inspect the wire and crimp after installation.
• Gauge identification: The wire gauge is marked on the connector, and a color band shows the wire range.
• Spade (fork) design: The terminal slips onto a stud or screw without removing the fastener completely, which makes it easy to install on terminal strips and electrical components.

To install, strip the wire, insert it into the terminal and crimp. Then apply heat to shrink the tubing and activate the adhesive for a complete environmental seal. The terminals give you a strong, strain-relieved connection for boat wiring, accessory circuits and general electrical repairs.
