SV5.5-4S FURCATE “U” TERMINAL W / INSULATED

Efficient Power Distribution: SV5.5-4S Yellow Insulated Fork Terminals

Simplify your wiring installations with our SV5.5-4S Yellow Insulated Fork (Furcate) Terminals. Also known as "U-type" connectors, these terminals are designed for quick and easy attachment to screw-type terminal blocks without the need to completely remove the screw. Engineered for heavy-duty 12-10 AWG wiring, these yellow terminals provide a secure, high-conductivity connection for industrial, automotive, and home electrical systems.

Key Performance Features:

• Time-Saving Fork Design: The U-shaped open end allows the terminal to slide under a loosened screw head, significantly speeding up installation and maintenance.

• High-Current Copper Core: Crafted from premium tin-plated copper to ensure maximum electrical flow and long-term protection against oxidation and corrosion.

• Robust Yellow Insulation: The thick vinyl (PVC) sleeve provides essential electrical insulation and acts as a stress-reducing strain relief for the crimped wire.

• Precision M4 Fit: Optimized for M4 or #8 size screws, providing a snug fit that prevents the terminal from sliding out once tightened.

Technical Specs 

• Model: SV5.5-4S.

• Terminal Type: Fork / Furcate / U-Type.

• Insulation Material: High-Grade Vinyl (PVC).

• Color: Yellow 

Typical Applications

• Industrial Control Panels: Frequently used to connect thick power leads to terminal strips and DIN rail blocks.

• Automotive Relays: Ideal for wiring high-draw accessories like winches, fans, or amplifiers where a secure screw-down connection is needed.

• Home Electrical: Perfect for terminating wires in breaker panels or specialized junction boxes.

• Marine Power: The tin-plated core helps resist the corrosive effects of moisture in boat electrical systems.

Top 3 Customer Questions & Concerns ‍

1. Why use a Fork terminal instead of a Ring terminal?

   • Fork terminals are much faster to install because you only need to loosen the screw rather than remove it entirely. However, ring terminals are generally preferred for high-vibration environments where a wire absolutely cannot slip out.

2. What tool should I use?

   • To achieve a professional, "gas-tight" connection on 12-10 AWG wire, we highly recommend a heavy-duty ratcheting crimper designed for insulated terminals.

3. Can these handle 220V applications?

   • Yes, these terminals are typically rated for up to 600V and 105°C, making them suitable for both DC and standard AC mains power distribution.
