Why Choose the Partex YS84/RA Yellow Insulated Spade Terminal M8?
The Partex YS84/RA is a yellow insulated spade terminal (fork terminal) designed to provide secure and convenient electrical connections using M8 screw or stud fixings. Suitable for terminating electrical conductors in control panels, machinery and wiring assemblies, this crimp terminal combines an open-ended fork contact with an insulated conductor termination for practical installation and maintenance.
As part of the Partex insulated crimp terminal range, the YS84/RA features a fork-shaped connection that allows the terminal to be fitted beneath a compatible screw head or washer. The open-ended design makes it possible to remove the terminal by loosening the fixing rather than completely removing it, helping simplify maintenance and wiring modifications where this connection method is permitted.
Featuring an M8 fork connection and distinctive yellow insulation, the YS84/RA is suitable for professional electrical wiring applications requiring an insulated crimp termination. Supplied in a convenient pack of 100 terminals, it provides a practical solution for electricians, control panel builders, maintenance engineers and electrical equipment manufacturers.

Reliable Fork Terminal Connections for Industrial Electrical Wiring
The Partex YS84/RA insulated spade terminal provides a practical method of connecting electrical conductors to M8 screw-type terminals. Its fork-shaped contact fits around a compatible stud or screw shank and is secured beneath the appropriate fixing. This connection arrangement is useful in electrical panels and equipment where wiring may need to be inspected, disconnected or replaced during maintenance.
The insulated crimp barrel is designed to secure a correctly prepared conductor using a suitable crimping tool. Correct conductor sizing, stripping, crimping and tightening are essential for achieving reliable electrical and mechanical performance. The yellow insulation provides protection around the wire termination, while the exposed fork contact should be appropriately enclosed or otherwise protected where required. The YS84/RA is suitable for applications where the equipment manufacturer permits fork-type terminals.
Typical Applications
- Industrial electrical control panels and switchgear assemblies.
- M8 screw terminal and stud connections.
- Electrical machinery and equipment wiring.
- Control cabinet assembly and panel building.
- Industrial automation and auxiliary electrical circuits.
- Electrical maintenance and replacement connections.
- OEM electrical equipment manufacturing.
- Wiring assemblies requiring accessible insulated fork terminals.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Partex YS84/RA used for?
The Partex YS84/RA is a yellow insulated spade terminal used to connect suitable electrical conductors to M8 screw or stud terminals in electrical equipment, control panels and industrial wiring assemblies.
What stud size does the Partex YS84/RA fit?
The YS84/RA is designed for M8 (8 mm) screw and stud connections, provided the fixing and terminal arrangement are compatible.
Is the Partex YS84/RA insulated?
Yes. The YS84/RA features yellow insulation around the crimp barrel. The fork contact remains exposed so that it can make an electrical connection beneath a compatible screw or stud fixing.
How is the Partex YS84/RA installed?
A correctly sized conductor is stripped to the appropriate length and inserted into the terminal barrel. The connection is secured using a suitable crimping tool before the fork is positioned beneath an M8 fixing and tightened according to the equipment manufacturer's instructions.
How many terminals are included in one pack?
Each pack contains 100 Partex YS84/RA yellow insulated M8 spade terminals, suitable for electrical installation, panel assembly and maintenance operations.
What is the advantage of a spade terminal compared with a ring terminal?
A spade terminal can generally be removed after loosening the fixing screw without completely removing it. This can make wiring changes and maintenance more convenient where fork terminals are permitted by the equipment design.
Can the YS84/RA be used in industrial control panels?
Yes. The YS84/RA is suitable for industrial control panel and equipment wiring where an insulated M8 fork terminal is appropriate for the conductor, electrical load and terminal fixing arrangement.
