Insulated Blade
An insulated blade terminal adds a colour-coded sleeve to a flat tip, so the joint is covered right up to the terminal. Panel builders, switchgear assemblers, electricians and dealers use them in MCBs, clamp terminals and control panels. The insulated flat pin terminal shape slides into flat slots, and each colour coded blade terminal shows the wire size at a glance.

Insulated Blade Connector for Panels and Breakers
The sleeve on an insulated blade connector guards against touching nearby live parts and supports the wire at the barrel, which reduces strain from vibration. Colour bands follow the wire size, so stocking and picking is simple. Push the blade fully into the slot before tightening, and look up the product page for blade and wire sizes. Keep a few of each colour in the kit so the right size is always at hand.
Crimp insulated terminals with an electrical crimping tool so the sleeve is not cracked, and browse all cable lugs for other styles. For heat-prone spots, the bare version is the better pick. Ashwin Tools accepts returns within 10 days, and electrical traders looking for regular stock can join our dealership programme.
