Ideal Industries 84-7111 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the IDEAL 84-7111 spade terminal take?
The IDEAL 84-7111 is sized for 22-18 AWG stranded or solid wire. That is the small-gauge end of the range, typical for control wiring, thermostat leads, low-voltage signal runs and appliance connections. If your conductor is 16 or 14 AWG, this barrel will not accept it and you need the next size up in the series.
2) Why choose a spade terminal over a ring terminal for a control panel?
A spade (fork) terminal like the 84-7111 has an open end, so you only back the #6 screw out a turn or two to land or pull the wire. A ring terminal has to come completely off the stud. Spades win on panels you service often; rings win where vibration or a code-driven captive connection matters.
3) What is the IDEAL 84-7111 terminal made of, and will it hold up in a damp or outdoor enclosure?
Tin-plated brass barrel with a vinyl insulating sleeve. The tin plating is there for corrosion resistance, which helps in damp or humid enclosures, though vinyl insulation is a general-purpose material rather than a high-temperature or direct-burial rated one.
4) Do I need a special crimper for the IDEAL 84-7111 insulated spade terminals?
Use an insulated-terminal crimper matched to the 22-18 AWG color-coded range. The 84-7111 has a shouldered barrel insulation that seats the terminal in the crimp jaw in the right position, and butted seam construction so the barrel will not split under full crimp pressure. A general-purpose pliers crimp gives an inconsistent result on these.
5) Will the 84-7111 accept thick-jacketed wire insulation?
It has an expanded insulation entry, which takes a wider range of insulation outside diameters than a plain barrel and gives extra support behind the crimp. That matters on appliance cord and thicker-jacketed 18 AWG where a standard entry would bottom out on the jacket instead of the conductor.
6) How many terminals come in a box of IDEAL 84-7111?
1,000 pieces per box. That is a bulk quantity aimed at panel shops, MRO cribs and integrators standardizing on one wire size, not a repair pack. If you only need a handful for a single service call, a bulk box is more than the job requires.
7) Will these spade terminals pull off the wire under vibration?
The barrel has internal serrations that bite the conductor strands, which resists pull-out and also lowers contact resistance at the crimp. Combined with the insulation support at the entry, that is the standard arrangement for control wiring in equipment that sees handling or vibration.
8) What is the manufacturer part number to order the IDEAL vinyl insulated #6 spade terminal in 22-18 AWG?
Order IDEAL Industries part 84-7111. One model covers this configuration: vinyl insulated spade, 22-18 AWG, #6 stud, supplied in boxes of 1,000. There is no finish or color option to specify.
