Forked cable

Forked cable lugs (also called crimped cable lug fork shape) are versatile. They are used, for example, in the automotive sector, in general electronics or in the hobby sector. The forked cable lugs are especially suitable in connection with certain screw terminals. For housing earthing the ring cablel lugs are rather used.

Forked cable lugs are available for different bolt or screw diameters and for different cable cross sections. The crimping cable lugs in fork form are available in uninsulated and insulated versions. The color of the insulation indicates the coding of the conductor cross section.

Processing of fork cable lugs

Forked cable lugs are crimped on with special crimping or pressing pliers. For this purpose, the cable to be equipped with a forked cable lug is stripped according to the length specified by the manufacturer. Then the shoe matching the conductor cross section (see table for color coding) is placed on the stripped end piece and shaped with the crimping pliers or a press with an appropriate die. The deformation creates a secure connection between the stranded cable and the forked cable lug. In order to have a quality control, some crimping pliers leave a marking in the shoe. The crimping pliers have an engraving in the die for this purpose.
