Why Choose the Partex RPB63/VR Red 6.3 mm Piggy Back Terminal?
The Partex RPB63/VR is a red insulated piggy back crimp terminal featuring a 6.3 mm × 0.8 mm male tab connection. Designed for professional electrical wiring and cable termination applications, this terminal combines a female push-on receptacle with an additional male tab, allowing two electrical connections to be made at a single connection point.
As part of the Partex insulated electrical terminal range, the RPB63/VR provides a convenient solution for electricians, control panel builders and maintenance engineers who need to connect or extend wiring using standard quick-disconnect terminals. The piggy back configuration enables an additional female push-on connector to be attached without requiring a separate terminal connection point.
Featuring red insulation for easy identification and a standard 6.3 mm × 0.8 mm blade size, the RPB63/VR is suitable for use with compatible quick-disconnect terminals in electrical control systems, equipment wiring and industrial maintenance applications. Supplied in a pack of 100, these terminals provide a practical solution for routine electrical assembly and installation work.

Piggy back terminals provide a convenient way to create an additional electrical connection from an existing quick-disconnect terminal. The Partex RPB63/VR combines a female receptacle with an integrated 6.3 mm × 0.8 mm male tab, allowing a compatible female connector to be attached while maintaining the original push-on connection.
This arrangement is particularly useful in electrical control equipment and machinery where multiple wires need to share a common connection point. The crimp barrel secures the conductor when compressed using an appropriate terminal crimping tool, while the insulated sleeve helps protect the termination and provides convenient colour identification.
The RPB63/VR uses the standard red insulated terminal colour designation, commonly associated with conductor sizes of 0.5–1.5 mm². For dependable installation, the conductor must be correctly stripped, inserted and crimped using a suitable tool. The current rating of the completed connection must be appropriate for the terminal, conductor, mating connector and operating conditions. The piggy back arrangement does not increase the current-carrying capacity of the original connection.
Typical Applications
- Electrical control panel wiring and assembly.
- Industrial machinery and equipment connections.
- Quick-disconnect wiring in electrical appliances.
- Electrical distribution and control equipment.
- Automotive and vehicle auxiliary wiring where suitably rated.
- Maintenance and repair of electrical connections.
- Creating additional connections from existing 6.3 mm push-on terminals.
- Professional electrical installation and cable assembly workshops.
