An Insulated Fork Lug is a type of electrical connector used for secure and reliable cable termination, typically in wiring and electrical installations. It features a forked (U-shaped) tongue that allows it to be easily mounted under a screw or bolt terminal while providing insulation to prevent short circuits.

Key Features:

• Material:

  • Conductors: Usually made of high-conductivity copper (often tinned for corrosion resistance).

  • Insulation: PVC, nylon, or heat-shrink tubing for electrical and mechanical protection.

• Size Range: Compatible with wire sizes from 1.5mm² to 6mm² (common in automotive, industrial, and household wiring).

• Hole Diameter: Typically fits standard terminal screws (e.g., M3, M4, M5).

• Voltage Rating: Generally rated for 300V – 600V, depending on insulation quality.

• Temperature Range: Usually -40°C to +105°C (varies by insulation material).

Applications:

✔ Electrical panels & control boxes
✔ Automotive & marine wiring
✔ Industrial machinery & appliances
✔ Solar power systems

Advantages:

???? Secure screw/bolt connection
???? Prevents accidental shorts due to insulated sleeve
???? Easy installation & removal
???? Resistant to vibration looseninghttps://store.unigulfsupply.com/product/fork-lug/
