Partex YB18/RA yellow insulated blade terminal featuring an 18 mm blade length and 2.8 mm blade width for crimp termination of compatible stranded copper conductors in electrical control panels, machinery and industrial equipment, supplied in a pack of 100.
£26.66
The Partex YB18/RA is a professional yellow insulated blade terminal designed to provide reliable crimp connections for stranded copper conductors in electrical control panels, machinery and industrial wiring installations. Featuring an 18 mm blade length and 2.8 mm blade width, this terminal provides an extended flat blade contact for connection to compatible electrical terminals.
The yellow insulated crimp sleeve helps protect the conductor termination area and provides clear visual identification during installation. Its flat blade configuration allows the terminated conductor to be inserted into a suitable receiving terminal, while the crimp barrel provides a secure mechanical connection when installed using the correct tool and die.
With its 18 mm × 2.8 mm blade dimensions, the Partex YB18/RA is particularly useful for electrical assemblies requiring a longer blade contact than shorter terminal variants. Supplied in a convenient pack of 100, it is a practical choice for electricians, control panel builders, equipment manufacturers and industrial maintenance engineers.
Insulated blade terminals provide a practical method of preparing electrical conductors for connection to compatible terminal equipment. The Partex YB18/RA features an 18 mm long, 2.8 mm wide flat blade, making it suitable for applications where these specific contact dimensions are required. Its yellow insulated crimp section helps identify the terminal during installation and provides protection around the conductor attachment point.
For correct installation, select a stranded copper conductor within the terminal's specified crimp capacity and strip the insulation to the appropriate length. Insert the conductor fully into the crimp barrel and use a suitable insulated terminal crimping tool to form a secure connection. Inspect the finished crimp before inserting the blade into an approved receiving terminal. The 18 mm blade length and 2.8 mm width must match the receiving connection, and the terminal's electrical ratings and conductor compatibility should be checked against the equipment requirements.

The Partex YB18/RA is a yellow insulated blade terminal used to terminate compatible stranded copper conductors for connection to suitable blade-receiving electrical terminals. It is useful for electrical control panels, industrial equipment and machinery wiring.
The YB18/RA features an 18 mm blade length and a 2.8 mm blade width. The receiving terminal must be compatible with both dimensions.
The main difference is the blade length. The YB18/RA has an 18 mm blade, while the YB10/RA has a 10 mm blade. Both are specified with a 2.8 mm blade width and yellow insulation. Select the model that matches the receiving terminal's requirements.
Yes. The Partex YB18/RA features a yellow insulated crimp sleeve around the conductor termination area. The flat metal blade remains exposed to make the electrical connection.
The Partex YB18/RA is supplied in a pack of 100 yellow insulated blade terminals, making it suitable for electrical installation, panel assembly and maintenance work.
Partex insulated blade terminals provide practical cable termination solutions for electricians, control panel manufacturers and industrial maintenance engineers. With its 18 mm × 2.8 mm blade configuration, yellow insulated crimp connection and convenient pack of 100, the YB18/RA supports consistent electrical wiring and professional equipment assembly.
