Why Choose the Partex BS37/RA Blue Insulated Spade Terminal?
The Partex BS37/RA is a practical and reliable blue insulated spade terminal (fork terminal) designed for secure electrical conductor termination in industrial control panels, machinery and electrical installations. Featuring an M3.5 fork connection, this crimp terminal provides a convenient solution for attaching compatible electrical conductors to screw-type electrical connection points.
As part of the Partex insulated spade terminal range, the BS37/RA supports efficient electrical installation, maintenance and equipment assembly. Its open-fork connection design allows the terminal to be positioned beneath a compatible screw head without completely removing the screw, helping simplify wiring installation and maintenance. The blue insulated sleeve provides protection around the conductor termination area and allows straightforward visual identification during wiring.
With an M3.5 nominal mounting size, blue insulation and a convenient pack quantity of 100 terminals, the BS37/RA is suitable for electricians, industrial maintenance engineers and control-panel manufacturers. Its crimp termination arrangement allows compatible conductors to be attached using an appropriate crimping tool, making it a practical choice for electrical wiring, equipment assembly and replacement applications.

Reliable Electrical Terminations for Industrial Control Systems
Spade terminals, also known as fork terminals, provide a convenient method of connecting electrical conductors to compatible screw-type terminals. Their open-fork design allows the terminal to slide beneath a loosened screw head, making installation and removal straightforward where the equipment is designed to accept this connection type.
The Partex BS37/RA features an M3.5 fork connection and blue insulated sleeve, making it suitable for wiring assemblies where this terminal configuration is specified. The conductor is inserted into the terminal barrel and secured using a suitable crimping tool before the fork is positioned beneath the compatible screw head and tightened according to the equipment manufacturer's instructions.
For industrial automation engineers, electrical installers and control-panel builders, correctly selected spade terminals can improve wiring consistency and simplify equipment maintenance. The conductor cross-section, electrical load, operating voltage, screw size, terminal retention requirements and tightening torque should always be checked against the relevant manufacturer specifications before installation.
