TIESELX Insulated Spade Connectors – Male & Female Quick-Disconnect Crimp Terminals (22–10 AWG)

Product Overview

TIESELX Insulated Spade Connectors provide a simple, removable connection for low-voltage wiring. Crimp a terminal onto each wire, then push the male and female halves together to complete the circuit.

When you need to service or replace a component, pull the two halves apart without cutting the wire. The fully insulated nylon body helps protect the connection, while the brass contact provides reliable conductivity.

These terminals cover 22–10 AWG and come in a 100-piece pack.

Key Features

• Male and female terminals: Create a complete quick-disconnect connection.
• Easy to service: Separate the connection by hand when needed.
• 22–10 AWG coverage: Three sizes cover common low-voltage wire gauges.
• Color-coded insulation: Red, blue, and yellow make size selection easier.
• Brass contacts: Provide reliable electrical conductivity.
• Fully insulated nylon sleeve: Helps protect the terminal and reduce the risk of accidental shorts.
• Standard tab profile: Mates with common quick-disconnect terminals.
• UL listed: The terminals are UL listed.
• 100-piece pack: Suitable for repairs, projects, and workshop use.

Wire Gauge and Color Coding

Match the terminal to the wire gauge before crimping. The conductor should sit fully inside the barrel.

Male and Female Spade Terminals

A spade connection consists of two matching parts.

The male terminal provides the flat tab, while the female terminal slides over it to complete the connection.

Crimp one terminal onto each wire, then push the two halves together until they seat securely. Pull them apart when you need to disconnect the component.

This makes spade terminals useful wherever wiring needs regular service or replacement.

Applications

These insulated terminals suit many low-voltage applications, including:

• Automotive and 12V wiring
• Car audio and speaker connections
• Switches and relays
• Appliance repair
• Lighting circuits
• Control wiring
• Hobby electronics
• DIY electrical projects

How to Install

1. Disconnect power from the circuit.
2. Strip approximately 6–7 mm of insulation.
3. Insert the conductor fully into the terminal barrel.
4. Position the terminal in a suitable crimping tool.
5. Crimp the barrel securely.
6. Give the wire a gentle pull to check the crimp.
7. Push the male and female terminals together until they seat.

Keep all wire strands inside the barrel.

Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a spade terminal?

A spade terminal is a crimp terminal with a flat contact that connects to a matching tab. It provides a removable wire connection.

What is the difference between male and female spade terminals?

The male terminal has the flat tab. The female terminal has the receptacle that slides over the tab.

How do I choose the correct size?

Match the terminal to your wire gauge: red for 22–16 AWG, blue for 16–14 AWG, and yellow for 12–10 AWG.

Are these suitable for automotive wiring?

Yes. They suit many automotive and 12V applications, including switches, relays, speakers, accessories, and wiring repairs.

Do I need a crimping tool?

Yes. Use a crimping tool designed for insulated terminals and the appropriate wire size.
