Why Choose the Partex YB18 Insulated Blade Terminal?
The Partex YB18 is a premium pre-insulated male blade crimp terminal designed to provide secure, reliable and easily removable electrical connections for stranded copper conductors. Manufactured by Partex, the YB18 combines a high-conductivity electro-tinned copper terminal with durable yellow vinyl (PVC) insulation, delivering dependable performance in industrial, commercial and OEM electrical installations.
Featuring an 18 mm long × 2.8 mm wide blade tab, the YB18 provides deeper engagement with compatible female blade terminals, improving mechanical retention in demanding applications. Its high-grade PVC insulation improves electrical safety while protecting the crimp connection from vibration and mechanical damage.
Suitable for 4.0–6.0 mm² (12–10 AWG) stranded copper conductors, the YB18 is supplied in packs of 100 and is widely used by panel builders, electricians and maintenance engineers requiring professional-quality electrical terminations.
