Why Choose the Partex BS37/RA Blue Insulated Spade Terminal?
The Partex BS37/RA is a practical and reliable blue insulated spade terminal (fork terminal) designed for secure electrical conductor termination in industrial control panels, machinery and electrical installations. Featuring an M3.5 fork connection, this crimp terminal provides a convenient solution for attaching compatible electrical conductors to screw-type electrical connection points.
As part of the Partex insulated spade terminal range, the BS37/RA supports efficient electrical installation, maintenance and equipment assembly. Its open-fork connection design allows the terminal to be positioned beneath a compatible screw head without completely removing the screw, helping simplify wiring installation and maintenance. The blue insulated sleeve provides protection around the conductor termination area and allows straightforward visual identification during wiring.
With an M3.5 nominal mounting size, blue insulation and a convenient pack quantity of 100 terminals, the BS37/RA is suitable for electricians, industrial maintenance engineers and control-panel manufacturers. Its crimp termination arrangement allows compatible conductors to be attached using an appropriate crimping tool, making it a practical choice for electrical wiring, equipment assembly and replacement applications.

Reliable Electrical Terminations for Industrial Control Systems
Spade terminals, also known as fork terminals, provide a convenient method of connecting electrical conductors to compatible screw-type terminals. Their open-fork design allows the terminal to slide beneath a loosened screw head, making installation and removal straightforward where the equipment is designed to accept this connection type.
The Partex BS37/RA features an M3.5 fork connection and blue insulated sleeve, making it suitable for wiring assemblies where this terminal configuration is specified. The conductor is inserted into the terminal barrel and secured using a suitable crimping tool before the fork is positioned beneath the compatible screw head and tightened according to the equipment manufacturer's instructions.
For industrial automation engineers, electrical installers and control-panel builders, correctly selected spade terminals can improve wiring consistency and simplify equipment maintenance. The conductor cross-section, electrical load, operating voltage, screw size, terminal retention requirements and tightening torque should always be checked against the relevant manufacturer specifications before installation.
Typical Applications
- Industrial electrical control panels and wiring assemblies.
- PLC control cabinets and automation equipment.
- Compatible electrical screw-terminal connections.
- Motor control panels and auxiliary control circuits.
- Industrial machinery and equipment wiring.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Partex BS37/RA used for?
The Partex BS37/RA is a blue insulated spade terminal used to terminate electrical conductors for connection to compatible screw terminals. It is suitable for control-panel wiring, industrial machinery and electrical equipment installations requiring an M3.5 fork connection.
What screw size is compatible with the Partex BS37/RA?
The BS37/RA is designed for an M3.5 nominal screw connection. The receiving terminal and fastening arrangement should be checked for dimensional compatibility and suitability for an open-fork terminal before installation.
How many Partex BS37/RA spade terminals are supplied in one pack?
Each pack contains 100 blue insulated spade terminals, providing a convenient quantity for electrical installation, control-panel assembly, cable preparation and maintenance work.
What is the difference between a spade terminal and a ring terminal?
A spade terminal has an open-fork connection that can be positioned beneath a loosened screw head, whereas a ring terminal has a closed circular opening that surrounds the fastening point. The BS37/RA uses an M3.5 open-fork design and should only be installed where this connection arrangement is permitted.
How is the Partex BS37/RA spade terminal installed?
The conductor insulation is stripped to the appropriate length, the conductor is inserted into the terminal barrel and the connection is secured using a suitable crimping tool. The M3.5 fork is then positioned beneath a compatible loosened screw head and secured using the tightening method and torque specified by the equipment manufacturer.
