Why Choose the Partex RS43N/RA Red Insulated Narrow Right-Angled Spade Terminal?
The Partex RS43N/RA is a red PVC-insulated, narrow right-angled fork terminal designed for connecting stranded copper conductors to compatible M4 screw and stud terminals. Featuring a nominal 4.3 mm fork opening, it provides a practical crimp termination solution for electrical control panels, industrial machinery and electrical distribution equipment.
The narrow fork profile makes the RS43N/RA particularly useful where terminal connection space is limited, while its right-angled configuration provides an alternative connection orientation for compatible wiring arrangements. Designed for conductors from 0.5–1.5 mm² (22–16 AWG), the terminal combines a crimp barrel with red PVC insulation for straightforward identification and installation.
As part of the Partex insulated crimp terminal range, the RS43N/RA is suitable for professional electrical installation and equipment assembly. Supplied in a convenient pack of 100, it supports repetitive wiring operations undertaken by control panel builders, electrical contractors, OEM manufacturers and industrial maintenance engineers.

Narrow Right-Angled Fork Terminals for Electrical Control Panels
Fork terminals, also known as spade terminals, are commonly used to connect stranded conductors to screw or stud connections in electrical equipment. Their open-ended contact design allows the terminal to be positioned beneath a suitable screw head or washer. Compared with ring terminals, fork terminals can simplify certain maintenance operations because the fixing screw may only need to be loosened rather than completely removed.
The Partex RS43N/RA combines an M4 narrow fork with a right-angled configuration for installations where terminal spacing and conductor routing influence connector selection. Its red insulation identifies the 0.5–1.5 mm² conductor range. For a reliable installation, the conductor must be correctly stripped and crimped, and the completed terminal must be secured using the connection manufacturer's specified tightening procedure.
Typical Applications
- Industrial electrical control panel wiring.
- Compact terminal connections requiring narrow fork profiles.
- Right-angled conductor termination arrangements.
- Machinery and industrial automation equipment.
- Electrical distribution and switchgear assemblies.
- OEM electrical equipment manufacturing.
- Control circuit and auxiliary wiring.
- Electrical maintenance, repair and replacement work.
