Klauke 18201A Uninsulated Female Spade Terminal 0.5-1.0 mm², 6.3 mm Tab, Crimp, E-Cu Tin-Plated, DIN 46247, Pack of 100

In automotive workshops and industrial control panels, reliable electrical connections are non-negotiable. The Klauke 18201A flat receptacle (female spade terminal) is engineered for crimping onto flexible copper conductors from 0.5 to 1.0 mm² (20–17 AWG), providing a secure, vibration-resistant joint on 6.3 × 0.8 mm male tabs. Its uninsulated design allows for custom sleeving or heat-shrink tubing, making it a favorite among harness builders and maintenance technicians who demand precision and longevity.

Why choose it

Klauke's 18201A terminals are manufactured from high-conductivity E-Cu and tin-plated to resist corrosion, ensuring low contact resistance over thousands of mating cycles. The crimp barrel is designed for uniform compression with standard crimping tools, reducing the risk of cold joints or wire pull-out. Because they are uninsulated, you can apply your own insulation to match environmental requirements—whether it's PVC sleeving for general use or adhesive-lined heat shrink for harsh, moisture-prone areas. This flexibility, combined with DIN 46247 dimensional accuracy, makes them a trusted component in professional electrical assembly.

Ideal use cases

• Automotive wiring harnesses: connecting to relays, switches, and fuse boxes with 6.3 mm tabs
• Industrial control panels: field wiring of sensors, contactors, and terminal blocks
• Appliance manufacturing: internal power connections where space is limited
• Prototyping and repairs: creating custom cable assemblies with heat-shrink insulation
• Marine and outdoor equipment: when paired with sealed heat-shrink connectors for weather resistance

Good to know

These terminals are supplied in a bulk pack of 100, ideal for production runs or workshop stock. For best results, use a ratcheting crimp tool with a 6.3 mm die set and verify pull-out force according to your quality standards. The uninsulated design requires additional insulation after crimping unless used in protected enclosures. Always de-energize circuits before installation and follow local electrical codes.
