Ancor's 25-pack of 12-10 AWG #8 nylon flanged spade terminals are specifically designed for the tough marine environment. These marine-grade terminals are a step above automotive ones. The nylon insulators are a breeze to crimp and won't split. Their barrels are engineered to firmly hold the wire with minimal effort. Tinned copper ensures low electrical resistance and maximum corrosion protection. Key features include nylon insulation with an insulation grip, double crimp design, and funnel entry. They are also UL 486C certified. Warning: This product may expose you to chemicals like di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP), known in California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.

Using these Ancor spade terminals is easy. First, make sure your wire is the right 12 - 10 AWG gauge for the terminals. Strip the end of the wire to the appropriate length. Then, insert the wire into the barrel of the spade terminal. Use a proper crimping tool to apply pressure on the double - crimp area until it firmly holds the wire. Remember, since these are designed for the marine environment, they'll work great in boats and other wet - prone areas. But be aware of the warning. This product contains chemicals that can be harmful. If you're in California, check P65Warnings.ca.gov for more details. For maintenance, keep them in a dry place when not in use. The tinned copper helps with corrosion, but excessive moisture can still cause problems over time. And always store them in their original box or a similar container to avoid damage.
