Ideal Industries 83-7161 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What wire size do Ideal 83-7161 spade terminals accept?
They're sized for 16-14 AWG conductors. That's the only gauge range this terminal is built for, so 12 AWG or larger won't crimp correctly in the barrel, and 18 AWG will be loose enough to pull out. The barrel carries internal serrations that bite into the strands to resist pull-out and hold resistance down once crimped.
2) Will these spade terminals fit a #10 stud or screw?
No. The 83-7161 fork is cut for a #8 stud. A #10 stud is larger and won't pass through the fork opening, so you'd need a terminal sized for #10. Going the other way, a smaller screw will pass through but the fork can slip off under the head, so stay with #8 hardware.
3) Are Ideal 83-7161 terminals OK for damp or corrosive locations like a rooftop control panel?
The barrel and tongue are tin-plated brass, which is chosen specifically for corrosion resistance and stable conductivity over time. That makes them a reasonable choice for humid or chemically harsh industrial and outdoor-panel work, provided the connection itself is inside an enclosure rated for the location.
4) Spade (fork) terminal versus a ring terminal on a screw stud, which should I use?
The spade tongue on the 83-7161 is open at the end, so you can back the #8 screw off a couple of turns and slide the wire out without removing the hardware. That's what makes it the go-to for terminal strips, control panels and anything you service often. A ring terminal is captive and can't back out if the screw loosens, so for vibration-heavy machinery or anything where the connection won't be touched again, a ring is the safer pick.
5) Do I need a special crimper for these vinyl insulated spade terminals?
Use an insulated-terminal crimper (the color-coded or oval-nest type), not a bare-terminal die. The 83-7161 has a shouldered barrel insulation that seats against the tool and positions the terminal at the right depth, and the seam is butted so it won't split when the die closes at full pressure. The insulation entry is expanded to take a wide range of wire jacket diameters and support the insulation behind the crimp.
6) What is the Ideal part number for a 16-14 AWG #8 stud spade terminal?
83-7161 is the Ideal Industries catalog number for the vinyl insulated spade terminal covering 16-14 AWG wire on a #8 stud. Quote that number when ordering or matching what's already in a panel.
7) Can I use these on control circuit and panel wiring in a commercial building?
Yes, that's the intended use. Typical applications are electrical panel and distribution connections, control circuit and automation wiring, industrial equipment and machinery, and general commercial building and MRO work, all on 16-14 AWG conductors landing on #8 studs.
