Why Choose the Partex BPB63/VR Blue Piggy Back Crimp Terminal?
The Partex BPB63/VR is a professional-quality blue insulated piggy back crimp terminal designed to provide a convenient electrical connection while retaining an additional male blade connection point. Featuring a 6.3 × 0.8 mm nominal blade connection, this terminal is suitable for electrical wiring, industrial control panels, machinery and equipment assemblies where an additional push-on connection is required.
Unlike a conventional female push-on terminal, the piggy back configuration combines a female receptacle with an integrated male blade. This allows a second compatible female terminal to be connected to the same connection point, helping simplify wiring arrangements without requiring a separate junction terminal. Its blue insulation identifies the commonly used 1.5–2.5 mm² conductor range, equivalent to approximately 16–14 AWG.
Manufactured with a durable metal contact and protective insulation, the Partex BPB63/VR is part of the manufacturer's vibration-resistant pre-insulated terminal range. Supplied in a convenient pack of 100 terminals, it offers a practical solution for electrical panel builders, OEM equipment manufacturers, maintenance engineers and installation contractors.

Convenient Piggy Back Connections for Electrical Wiring
The Partex BPB63/VR provides a practical solution when two compatible push-on connections are required at a common electrical connection point. Its female receptacle connects to an existing male blade terminal, while the integrated male tab provides a connection for an additional female receptacle. This arrangement can simplify wiring in electrical equipment, reduce the need for separate junction components and support organised cable routing.
The vibration-resistant design makes the terminal particularly useful in machinery and equipment where wiring may be exposed to movement during normal operation. The blue insulation identifies the appropriate conductor range and helps protect the crimped connection. For dependable performance, the conductor should be correctly stripped and crimped using a suitable tool and die, and the connected circuit must remain within the ratings of the terminal, conductors and associated equipment.
When using the piggy back arrangement, both connected circuits share an electrical connection point. The combined electrical load must therefore be considered when selecting the conductor size and protective devices. The additional male blade does not create an independently protected circuit.
Typical Applications
