Designed for crimping termination, simply deform the connector around a wire using pliers. This method allows for easy, safe and solder-free joints that are mechanically strong. A wire can be easily slotted into the component once the other wire has been crimped on the opposite end. Tin-plated brass contacts resist damage. It also has a rifled barrel, giving it improved contact and tensile strength.

As part of the RS PRO range, this spade connector has been stringently tested for safety and quality. Most commonly found in automotive electronics, it's also commonly used in domestic appliances such as dishwashers.
