Burndy YHSA18K8BF Heat Shrink Block Fork Terminal
The Burndy YHSA18K8BF is a heat shrink block fork terminal designed for 22 to 18 AWG copper conductors. The tin-plated copper barrel is encased in a heat shrink sleeve that, when activated, forms a moisture-resistant seal around the wire insulation — providing superior protection compared to standard uninsulated or vinyl-insulated terminals.
Features
- Wire range: 22 to 18 AWG
- Material: Copper
- Finish: Tin-plated
- Heat shrink insulation for environmental sealing
- For use on copper conductors
- Block fork terminal design for terminal block and panel connections
Applications
Ideal for marine, automotive, outdoor, and industrial wiring where terminals are exposed to moisture, vibration, or temperature cycling. The heat shrink sleeve creates a watertight bond that protects the conductor from corrosion and strain relief issues, ensuring long-term connection integrity.
