Why Choose the Partex YB18/RA Yellow Blade Terminal?

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.

Key Advantages

  • Professional insulated blade terminal for dependable electrical cable termination.
  • 18 mm blade length provides an extended contact for compatible receiving terminals.
  • 2.8 mm blade width for electrical connections designed to accept this blade size.
  • Yellow insulation provides easy visual identification during wiring and maintenance.
  • Crimp connection supports secure attachment to compatible stranded copper conductors.
  • Flat blade design offers a straightforward method of connecting conductors to suitable terminal equipment.
  • Insulated crimp sleeve helps protect the conductor attachment area.
  • Supplied in a practical pack of 100 blade terminals.

Extended Blade Connections for Industrial Electrical Wiring

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.

Typical Applications

  • Industrial electrical control panel wiring and assembly.
  • Electrical equipment and component connections.
  • Machinery control and industrial automation systems.
  • Electrical cabinets and enclosure wiring.
  • Terminal connections requiring an extended flat blade contact.
  • OEM electrical equipment manufacturing.
  • Building management and HVAC control equipment.
