Ancor 22-18 AWG - #8 Nylon Flanged Spade Terminal - 100-Pack [220302]

Ancor's 22-18 AWG #8 nylon flanged spade terminals are a great choice for marine applications. These marine-grade terminals are built to withstand the harsh marine environment, unlike automotive ones. The nylon insulators are easy to crimp and won't split. The barrels tightly grip the wire with minimal effort. Tinned copper provides low electrical resistance and excellent corrosion protection. Features include nylon insulation with an insulation grip, double crimp, and funnel entry, and they meet UL 486C standards. Warning: This product can expose you to chemicals like di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP), known to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm in California.

Using these Ancor spade terminals is easy. First, make sure your wire is the right gauge, which is 22 - 18 AWG. Then, insert the wire into the barrel of the terminal. The funnel entry design makes this step smooth. Next, use a suitable crimping tool to create a double crimp for a secure connection. Remember, these terminals are designed for the marine environment, but they're also great for other similar harsh conditions. As for maintenance, keep them dry to prevent corrosion. And be aware of the warning: they can expose you to chemicals like DEHP, so handle them with care. If you're in California, check P65Warnings.ca.gov for more details.
