FAQs
What is the correct wire size for these yellow terminals?
These yellow insulated female terminals are designed for cable sizes ranging from 4mm² to 6mm².
What type of tool is needed to attach these terminals?
A ratchet crimping tool designed for insulated terminals is recommended to ensure a secure and reliable connection.
Can these terminals be used for automotive applications?
Yes, they are suitable for various automotive wiring tasks where a 6.3mm connection is required and the wire gauge is appropriate.
What does the yellow color signify?
The yellow color is a standard industry code indicating that the terminal is typically used for wire gauges between 4.0mm² and 6.0mm².
How many terminals are in one pack?
Each pack contains 10 pre-insulated female terminals.
Are these terminals waterproof?
While the insulation provides protection, they are not designed for submersion. For harsh, wet environments, specialized waterproof connectors may be required.
Troubleshooting
Terminal does not crimp securely
Ensure you are using a compatible ratchet crimping tool and that the wire is fully inserted into the terminal barrel before crimping. Verify the wire gauge is within the 4-6mm² range.
Poor electrical connection after crimping
Check that the crimp is firm and that the copper conductor is making good contact within the terminal. Re-crimp if necessary, ensuring the tool is set correctly. Inspect the wire for damage.
Insulation is damaged during crimping
Ensure the crimping tool jaws are correctly positioned and that excessive force is not being applied. Use a tool specifically designed for insulated terminals.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Select the appropriate wire for the connection, ensuring it falls within the 4mm² to 6mm² cable size range compatible with the yellow insulation.
- Strip a small section of the wire's insulation to expose the conductor.
- Insert the exposed wire conductor fully into the terminal's copper barrel.
- Using a ratchet crimping tool designed for insulated terminals, firmly crimp the barrel onto the wire conductor. Ensure a secure connection.
Compatibility:
- Wire Gauge: Designed for cable sizes ranging from 4mm² to 6mm².
- Terminal Type: Mates with standard 6.3mm male spade terminals or connectors.
Care:
- Store in the original Blister Clam Pack to protect from dirt and damage.
- Keep in a dry environment to prevent corrosion of the copper body.
- Avoid exposing the terminals to excessive heat or harsh chemicals, which could degrade the insulation.
