Metallics MWSC22186 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the Metallics MWSC22186 spade terminal accept?
The MWSC22186 is sized for #22 through #18 AWG stranded or solid wire. If you're crimping anything heavier than 18 AWG, you need a larger barrel terminal - the insulation and barrel on this one won't close down properly on oversized conductors.
2) What stud or screw size does this Metallics spade terminal fit?
It's a 6-stud spade, so the fork fits a #6 screw or stud - typical for small terminal blocks, control panel strips, and device screws. For #8 or #10 terminals you'd want the matching larger stud size in the same wire range.
3) Spade terminal or ring terminal for a control panel terminal strip?
A spade (fork) terminal like the MWSC22186 slides in under a loosened #6 screw without removing it, which is why panel builders and electricians use them on terminal strips they service often. A ring terminal is the better choice where vibration is a concern or where code or spec requires a captive connection, since a fork can back out if the screw loosens.
4) How do I order the Metallics #22-18 spade terminal and what part number should I reference?
Reference Metallics part number MWSC22186. The number itself carries the spec: 22-18 wire range, 6-stud spade. One part number covers the item, so there are no finish or size options to pick on the order.
