Thomas & Betts 14RB-6F – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Thomas & Betts 14RB-6F fork terminal work on 16 AWG control wire?
Yes. The 14RB-6F is rated for 18-14 AWG, so 16 AWG sits in the middle of the range and crimps correctly. The blue insulation is the standard color code for that gauge band, which makes it easy to spot the right terminal in a panel full of mixed sizes.
2) What screw or stud size does this blue fork terminal fit?
It is made for a #6 stud. The fork slot is sized to slide under a #6 screw head on a terminal block or equipment lug without removing the screw completely, which is the reason to pick a fork over a ring in the first place. If your block uses #8 or #10 screws, this is the wrong terminal.
3) What crimp tool should I use on the T&B RB Series 14RB-6F?
ERG4001 is the recommended tool. T&B also lists WT145C, WT2000, WT112M and ERG4003 as application tools for this terminal. Use one of those to get the rated crimp on the brazed seam barrel; a generic uninsulated-style die will not form it properly.
4) Will the insulation sleeve fit over THHN with a thick jacket?
The barrel accepts wire insulation up to 0.17 inches in outside diameter. Anything larger will not seat into the vinyl sleeve, and you will end up with the crimp landing on jacket instead of conductor. Check the OD of your conductor, not just the AWG, on heavily jacketed or double-insulated wire.
5) Fork terminal or ring terminal for a control panel terminal strip?
Use the fork when you want to land or pull a conductor without backing the screw all the way out, which is most control panel and terminal strip work. A ring terminal is captive and will not slip off under vibration, so it is the better choice on motor terminals, grounding studs, and anything that moves. The RB Series 14RB-6F is the fork version for #6 studs and 18-14 AWG wire.
6) Can I use this terminal on 600V panel wiring and in a hot enclosure?
Yes on both counts. The vinyl-insulated RB fork terminal is rated 600V and good to 105 degrees C, which covers typical industrial control panels, motor control centers, and switchgear wiring where enclosure temperatures run high.
7) Does this Thomas & Betts terminal meet flammability and RoHS requirements for an equipment build?
The vinyl insulation carries a UL 94 V-0 flammability rating and the terminal is RoHS compliant, which is what most OEM panel builds and institutional specs call for on insulated terminals.
8) How many 14RB-6F terminals come in a pack and do I have to buy in multiples?
The inner pack is 100 pieces and the order multiple is 100, so quantities go up in hundreds. The full outer carton holds 500. Handy number for estimating a shipment: they run 3.13 lbs per 1000 pieces.
9) Is the metal on this fork terminal copper or steel, and will it hold up in a damp mechanical room?
The body is copper with an electro tin-plated finish. Tin over copper keeps the contact surface from oxidizing and avoids the dissimilar-metal problems you get pairing bare copper against plated screws, so it holds up in typical indoor industrial and MRO environments.
10) What are the actual dimensions of the T&B 14RB-6F fork terminal?
Dimensionally it runs 0.97 (A), 0.31 (B), 0.27 (C) and 0.81 (M) inches, with a stock thickness of 0.03 inches. The 0.27 figure is what matters if your terminal block screws are tightly spaced, since that governs how much room each fork takes on the strip.
