Terminals - Spade Connectors
60251-2 application field and working principle

Spade connectors (also known as spade terminals, blade terminals or fork terminals) are common electrical components that are used to connect two or more pieces of wire together. They are designed to be used in a variety of applications and come in a wide range of different sizes and configurations. The common 60251-2 spade terminals conform to the standard established by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).

The 60251-2 field of application are primarily limited to power circuits found in low voltage or low current installations. The maximum specified current for this standard is 24 A and the maximum specified voltage is 600 V. These spade terminals are particularly useful for use in automotive installations since they provide a reliable connection for a variety of wire gauge sizes while simultaneously keeping a compact profile.

Spade terminals are designed to provide a reliable connection just like any other form of terminal, but additionally with the added benefit of being relatively easy to install. In order to properly install a spade terminal, the user must first strip a small section of insulation off of each wire. It is extremely important to take special care during this process to ensure that the insulation has been completely removed from both wires and that the exposed copper wire is not damaged or compromised in any way. Once this is complete, the user can insert the stripped wire in to the channel located on the back of the spade terminal. This can be done using needle nose pliers or any other tool that is capable of properly gripping the terminal.

The next step is to open the terminal and insert the exposed wire while firmly gripping the spade terminal with one hand. Once the wire is inserted and all the way through, the spade terminal should be closed and securely crimped around the wire. This helps to ensure an extremely solid connection and minimizes the risk of potential failure.

As previously mentioned, spade terminals are primarily used in automotive installations due to their versatility and the range of compatible electrical components. Some of the main components that utilize spade terminals are switches, relays, circuit breakers, and solenoids. They are also widely used in the wiring systems of aircrafts where limited space and flexibility are of the utmost importance.

60251-2 spade terminals are versatile, reliable, and have been proven to provide a tight connection despite being relatively easy to install. This makes them an ideal solution for a wide variety of low voltage, low current applications, particularly in automotive and aircraft wiring systems. Even though the standard restricts the current to 24A and the voltage to 600V, its versatile design still makes it a strong option in any application that requires a connection that is both secure and easy to install.
