Why Choose the Partex BHBL3.0 Blue Insulated Hooked Blade Terminal?
The Partex BHBL3.0 is a high-quality blue pre-insulated hooked blade crimp terminal designed to provide secure and dependable electrical connections for stranded copper conductors. Featuring a nominal 3.0 mm hooked blade size, with a manufacturer-specified blade width of 2.8 mm, this terminal is suitable for industrial electrical wiring, control panels and equipment connections where a hooked contact configuration is required.
As part of the Partex insulated crimp terminal range, the BHBL3.0 combines a conductive C1100 copper terminal with durable PVC insulation. Its hooked blade configuration provides an alternative to conventional straight blade terminals, offering a practical connection geometry for compatible electrical terminals. The pre-insulated barrel supports efficient crimping while helping maintain the integrity of the completed electrical termination.
Designed for 1.5–2.5 mm² copper conductors, the Partex BHBL3.0 features a 28.5 mm overall length, an 11 mm crimp barrel length and blue colour-coded insulation. Supplied in a convenient pack of 100 pieces, it is an excellent choice for electrical installers, control panel manufacturers and industrial maintenance engineers requiring consistent and reliable cable terminations.

Reliable Hooked Blade Connections for Industrial Electrical Wiring
Hooked blade terminals such as the Partex BHBL3.0 provide an effective method of terminating stranded copper conductors for connection to compatible electrical terminals. During installation, the conductor is stripped to the appropriate length and inserted into the terminal barrel. A suitable crimping tool compresses the terminal around the conductor to create a secure mechanical and electrical connection without requiring solder.
The hooked blade configuration provides a distinctive contact shape for electrical assemblies where a straight blade terminal may not offer the preferred connection arrangement. Its 2.8 mm blade width, 28.5 mm overall length and 11 mm barrel length are defined in the Partex product specifications. The blue PVC insulation identifies the terminal's conductor size range and helps protect the termination. Correct crimp tooling, conductor preparation and compatibility with the receiving terminal are essential for dependable electrical performance.
