Why Choose the Partex BB18 Blue Insulated Blade Terminal?

The Partex BB18 is a practical and reliable blue insulated blade crimp terminal designed for terminating electrical conductors and creating secure connections to compatible electrical terminals. Featuring an 18 mm blade length and 2.4 mm blade width, this terminal is suitable for electrical control panels, industrial equipment wiring and general electrical installation applications.

As part of the Partex electrical connection and cable termination range, the BB18 provides a convenient alternative to soldered wire terminations. Its pre-insulated construction helps protect the crimped connection, while the flat blade design allows insertion into compatible terminal connections. The straight blade configuration is particularly useful where a direct conductor-to-terminal connection is required.

Supplied in a convenient pack of 100 pieces, the Partex BB18 features blue colour-coded insulation, commonly associated with the 1.5–2.5 mm² conductor range in insulated crimp terminal systems. Its compact design and straightforward installation make it a practical choice for electricians, industrial maintenance engineers and electrical panel builders.

Reliable Blade Crimp Connections for Electrical Wiring

Blade crimp terminals such as the Partex BB18 provide a straightforward method of preparing electrical conductors for connection to compatible terminal blocks and electrical equipment. The conductor is stripped to the appropriate length, inserted into the crimp barrel and compressed using a suitable crimping tool. When correctly installed, the crimp provides mechanical retention and an electrically conductive connection without the need for solder.

The BB18 features an 18 mm straight blade with a 2.4 mm width, making it suitable for installations requiring an extended flat contact. Its blue insulated construction assists with terminal identification and provides insulation around the conductor entry. For dependable performance, installers should select the correct conductor size, use compatible crimp tooling and confirm that the receiving terminal is designed for the blade dimensions.

Typical Applications

  • Industrial electrical control panels and distribution assemblies.
  • Electrical terminal block connections.
  • Industrial machinery and automation equipment wiring.
  • Electrical cabinet manufacturing and panel building.
  • Equipment assembly and internal electrical connections.
  • Electrical maintenance, servicing and repair work.
  • Low-voltage control and auxiliary wiring circuits.
  • General electrical installations requiring insulated blade terminations.
