Why Choose the Partex BS53/RA M5 Blue Spade Terminals?
The Partex BS53/RA is a high-quality blue insulated right angled spade terminal (fork crimp terminal) designed for secure electrical connections between stranded copper conductors and M5 screw or stud terminals. Manufactured for professional electrical installation and industrial wiring applications, these terminals provide a practical and dependable solution for terminating cables in electrical control panels, distribution equipment and industrial machinery.
Featuring a right angled fork design and high-grade blue PVC insulation, the BS53/RA allows cables to be connected at an angle to the fixing point, making it particularly useful where installation space or cable routing is restricted. The open-ended spade contact enables convenient installation and removal from compatible screw terminals without completely removing the fixing screw.
Designed for 1.5–2.5 mm² (16–14 AWG) conductors, the Partex BS53/RA features a 5.3 mm fork opening for M5 studs and an insulated crimp barrel that supports secure and consistent cable termination. Supplied in a convenient pack of 100, these right angled spade terminals are ideal for electrical contractors, control panel builders, maintenance engineers and OEM equipment manufacturers.

Reliable Right Angled Electrical Connections for Industrial Wiring
Spade terminals provide an efficient method of connecting electrical conductors to screw or stud terminals. The Partex BS53/RA M5 right angled fork terminal features an open-ended contact that can be positioned beneath a loosened fixing screw, allowing electrical connections to be installed or removed without fully withdrawing the screw from the terminal.
The right angled configuration makes the BS53/RA particularly useful where cables need to approach a terminal from a different direction or where limited space makes conventional straight terminals difficult to install. This design helps installers achieve neat, organised cable routing in electrical cabinets, machinery enclosures and control panel assemblies.
The blue PVC insulated crimp barrel is designed for conductors with a cross-section of 1.5–2.5 mm². When installed using an appropriately matched crimping tool, the terminal provides a secure mechanical connection and dependable electrical continuity. The high-grade PVC insulation helps maintain termination integrity while supporting efficient assembly and maintenance work.
Typical Applications
- Industrial electrical control panels and automation cabinets.
- M5 screw terminal connections in electrical distribution equipment.
- Machinery control circuits and industrial equipment wiring.
- Motor control panels and auxiliary electrical connections.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the Partex BS53/RA spade terminals used for?
The Partex BS53/RA terminals are used to connect electrical conductors to M5 screw or stud terminals in control panels, industrial machinery and electrical equipment. Their right angled fork design is particularly useful where cable routing space is limited.
What stud size do the Partex BS53/RA terminals fit?
The BS53/RA features a 5.3 mm fork opening designed to fit compatible M5 screws and studs used in electrical control panels and industrial wiring applications.
What cable size is suitable for these blue spade terminals?
The Partex BS53/RA is designed for conductors with a cross-section of 1.5–2.5 mm² (16–14 AWG). A compatible insulated terminal crimping tool should be used to achieve a secure termination.
What is the advantage of a right angled spade terminal?
A right angled spade terminal allows the cable to approach the fixing point at an angle, making it useful in compact electrical enclosures and installations where straight cable entry is impractical. The open fork design also allows convenient installation beneath a loosened screw head.
What does the blue insulation indicate?
The blue PVC insulation identifies the terminal as suitable for the 1.5–2.5 mm² conductor range. This colour coding helps installers select the correct terminal size during electrical wiring and assembly work.
How are Partex BS53/RA spade terminals installed?
The conductor is stripped to the appropriate length, inserted into the insulated crimp barrel and secured using a compatible crimping tool. The fork contact is then positioned beneath an M5 screw or stud fixing and tightened according to the equipment manufacturer's requirements.
What is the difference between the Partex BS53 and BS53/RA?
The Partex BS53 is a conventional straight M5 insulated spade terminal, while the BS53/RA features a right angled configuration. Both are designed for 1.5–2.5 mm² conductors, but the BS53/RA offers an alternative connection orientation for installations with specific cable routing requirements.
How many Partex BS53/RA terminals are supplied in a pack?
This product is supplied as a pack of 100 blue PVC insulated M5 right angled spade terminals, making it suitable for electrical contractors, maintenance engineers and industrial panel builders.
