Male Terminals

A male terminal is a flat blade-shaped connection end that is crimped onto a cable end and pushed into the receptacle of a female faston terminal. It is used to join two cables detachably and as the mating end of lines with female terminals in in-device wiring. In this category, Konsan, Gwest and Isıso insulated and non-insulated male faston terminals are available in blade widths such as 2.8 mm, 4.8 mm and 6.3 mm, with red, blue and yellow insulation colors; the Gwest GBE and Konsan KBE series male insulated terminals are separate products from the faston type. Choose the blade width according to the female terminal it will mate with, the insulation color according to the cable cross-section (red 0.5-1.5 mm², blue 1.5-2.5 mm², yellow 4-6 mm²) and the body type according to the insulation requirement. A male faston terminal should not be confused with the blade-type cable end that is clamped into a terminal block entry: the faston blade is made in specific widths to slide into the female terminal.
