Why Choose the Partex BS32 Blue Insulated M3 Spade Terminal?
The Partex BS32 is a blue insulated spade (fork) crimp terminal designed to provide a secure and convenient electrical connection to compatible M3 screw terminals. Its open-fork design allows a conductor to be connected beneath a suitable screw head or terminal clamp without completely removing the fastener, making it a practical choice for electrical control panels, industrial equipment and general wiring assemblies.
The BS32 combines a fork-shaped electrical contact with an insulated crimp barrel, allowing compatible copper conductors to be terminated using an appropriate crimping tool. Its blue colour-coded insulation supports straightforward identification during installation, while the compact M3 connection makes it suitable for smaller screw-terminal arrangements in electrical equipment.
Supplied in a convenient pack of 100 pieces, the Partex BS32 is ideal for electrical installers, panel builders and industrial maintenance engineers who require consistent, easy-to-install cable terminations. Its simple crimp connection method helps support efficient wiring, equipment assembly and routine maintenance.

Convenient M3 Fork Connections for Electrical Control Wiring
Insulated spade terminals such as the Partex BS32 provide a straightforward method of connecting electrical conductors to screw-type terminals. During installation, the conductor is stripped to the appropriate length and inserted into the crimp barrel. A compatible crimping tool is then used to secure the conductor, creating a mechanical and electrical connection without requiring solder.
The M3 open-fork configuration allows the completed termination to be positioned beneath a suitable loosened screw head or terminal clamp. This can simplify installation and servicing compared with a closed-ring terminal, which generally requires the fastening hardware to be removed. The blue insulated barrel supports convenient terminal identification, while correct conductor selection, crimping and tightening are essential for dependable operation.
Typical Applications
Industrial electrical control panels and wiring assemblies.
M3 screw-terminal connections in electrical equipment.
Industrial machinery and automation control circuits.
Electrical cabinet manufacturing and panel building.
Auxiliary control and signalling wiring.
Electrical equipment assembly and installation.
Industrial maintenance, servicing and repair work.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Partex BS32 used for?
The Partex BS32 is a blue insulated spade crimp terminal used to connect compatible electrical conductors to M3 screw-terminal fastening points in control panels and electrical equipment.
What screw size does the Partex BS32 fit?
The BS32 is designed for an M3 screw connection, corresponding to a nominal screw diameter of 3 mm.
What colour is the Partex BS32 terminal?
The terminal features blue insulation around the crimp barrel, providing clear identification during installation and maintenance.
How many Partex BS32 terminals are supplied in one pack?
The Partex BS32 is supplied in a pack of 100 pieces, suitable for electrical installation, panel manufacturing and maintenance applications.
What is the difference between a spade terminal and a ring terminal?
A spade terminal has an open fork that can usually be installed beneath a loosened screw without completely removing it. A ring terminal has a closed opening that surrounds the fastening stud and generally requires the fastener to be removed during installation.
What wire size is suitable for the Partex BS32?
Blue insulation is commonly associated with 1.5–2.5 mm² conductors in pre-insulated crimp terminal systems. The exact conductor capacity should be checked against the BS32 product specification before installation.
What tool is required to install the Partex BS32?
A suitable crimping tool for blue pre-insulated terminals should be used. The tool must be compatible with the terminal barrel and selected conductor size.
Can the Partex BS32 be installed without removing the terminal screw?
Yes, where the receiving terminal permits it. The open-fork design generally allows installation beneath a loosened screw head or clamp without completely removing the fastener.
Is the Partex BS32 suitable for industrial control panels?
Yes. The BS32 is suitable for industrial control panels and electrical equipment wiring where the conductor size, M3 fastening point and terminal connection are compatible.
