RS PRO Red Insulated Female Spade Connector Crimp 0.8 x 6.35 mm Tab Size 22 AWG to 16 AWG 178-8289

RS PRO 178-8289 Red Insulated Female Spade Connector is a high-quality crimp receptacle, engineered for fast and reliable wire termination in electrical circuits. This female spade connector is fully insulated with a durable nylon sleeve, offering protection from accidental electric shock and environmental contaminants such as dirt, moisture, and grease. The connector's robust barrel ensures a secure crimp that withstands mechanical stress and vibration, making it ideal for demanding industrial and automotive environments.

The 0.8 x 6.35 mm tab size matches standard male tab connectors, facilitating quick and efficient installation and maintenance. Designed for compatibility with wire sizes ranging from 22 AWG to 16 AWG (0.5 mm² to 1.5 mm²), it accommodates a wide variety of electrical wiring requirements. The contact is manufactured from brass and finished with tin plating, optimizing electrical conductivity and offering resistance to corrosion for reliable long-term performance.

The red nylon insulation is not only protective but also colour-coded for easy identification amongst multiple wiring solutions. Its straight orientation allows for streamlined assembly and facilitates tool access during crimping. The connector is easy to install using appropriate crimping tools, without the need for soldering. This ensures a consistent, high-quality electrical contact every time.
