Female Terminals

A female terminal is a faston-type connection end that is crimped onto a cable end and has a spring receptacle into which a flat male blade, on a device or on the mating cable, slides. It is used in household appliance, automotive and machine wiring to connect cables to the male faston tabs on relays, switches, resistors, motors and electronic boards. In this category, Gwest, Konsan, Isıso and Hawcon insulated, fully insulated (including polyamide), flag-type and non-insulated female faston terminals are available in sizes that match male blade widths such as 2.8 mm, 4.8 mm and 6.3 mm; the Gwest GBD and Konsan KBD series female insulated terminals are separate products from the faston type. Choose the female terminal according to the size of the male tab it will be fitted on, the cable cross-section, the insulation type and whether the cable exits straight or from the side (flag type). Female terminals of different sizes should not be confused with each other: values such as 6.3 mm in the product name indicate the width of the male blade, while red, blue and yellow insulation indicate the conductor cross-section ranges of 0.5-1.5 mm², 1.5-2.5 mm² and 4-6 mm², respectively.
