Why Choose the Partex URS43 Uninsulated Spade Terminal M4?
The Partex URS43 is a high-quality uninsulated spade terminal (fork terminal) designed for secure and reliable electrical connections using M4 screw or stud terminals. Manufactured for terminating stranded copper conductors, this compact crimp terminal provides a practical solution for electrical installations, industrial control panels and wiring assemblies.
As part of the Partex uninsulated crimp terminal range, the URS43 features an open-ended fork design that allows convenient installation and removal from screw terminals without completely removing the fixing screw. Its conductive metal construction and crimp barrel help create a durable electrical connection when installed using the correct crimping tool.
Designed for conductor cross-sections of 0.5–1.5 mm² (22–16 AWG), the URS43 accommodates M4 (4 mm) studs with a 4.3 mm fork opening. Supplied in a convenient pack of 100 terminals, it is suitable for electricians, panel builders, maintenance engineers and industrial wiring professionals.

Reliable Crimp Connections for Electrical Wiring
The Partex URS43 spade terminal provides an efficient method of connecting stranded copper conductors to screw-type electrical terminals. Its fork-shaped contact end fits around a compatible M4 stud, allowing the terminal to be secured beneath a screw head or washer. This arrangement is particularly useful in electrical panels and equipment where connections may require periodic inspection, maintenance or replacement.
The uninsulated crimp barrel is designed to be compressed around a correctly prepared conductor using a suitable crimping tool. Proper conductor preparation, crimping and screw tightening are essential for achieving a dependable electrical and mechanical connection. Where electrical insulation or protection against accidental contact is required, suitable additional insulation or an appropriate enclosure should be used.
Typical Applications
- Industrial electrical control panels and switchgear assemblies.
- Terminal block and screw terminal connections.
- Electrical equipment wiring and maintenance.
- Machinery control and automation systems.
- Power distribution and auxiliary wiring circuits.
- Electrical cabinet assembly and panel building.
- OEM equipment manufacturing and wiring harness production.
- Repair and replacement of existing fork terminal connections.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Partex URS43 used for?
The Partex URS43 is an uninsulated fork-type crimp terminal used to connect stranded copper conductors to electrical terminals fitted with M4 screws or studs.
What wire sizes are compatible with the URS43 terminal?
The URS43 is designed for stranded copper conductors with cross-sectional areas of 0.5–1.5 mm², equivalent to approximately 22–16 AWG.
What stud size does the Partex URS43 fit?
The terminal is designed for M4 (4 mm) studs and features a 4.3 mm fork opening to accommodate the fixing.
Is the Partex URS43 insulated?
No. The URS43 is an uninsulated spade terminal. Additional insulation or suitable protective measures should be provided where required by the electrical installation.
How many terminals are supplied in one pack?
Each pack contains 100 Partex URS43 uninsulated spade terminals, making it suitable for electrical installation, panel assembly and maintenance work.
How is the URS43 installed?
The conductor is stripped to the appropriate length and inserted into the terminal barrel, which is then compressed using a suitable crimping tool. The fork is positioned beneath a compatible M4 screw or stud fixing and secured according to the equipment manufacturer's instructions.
What is the advantage of a fork terminal compared with a ring terminal?
A fork terminal can generally be removed from a screw connection after loosening the fixing without completely removing the screw. This can simplify maintenance and wiring changes where the terminal arrangement permits its use.
