Description
Yato Abico crimp terminal set 240 pcs is an assortment of insulated crimp terminals for connecting and extending electrical wires. The set contains 240 terminals in ten different types, packed in a plastic box with compartments.
The terminals are made of brass and their insulation of PVC. The insulation colour shows the conductor cross-section: red 0.5–1.5 mm² and blue 1.5–2.5 mm². The colour code matches the markings on the jaws of the crimping pliers, so the terminal colour tells you the right crimping position.
The set includes male and female terminals in two tab widths, 6.4 mm and 4.8 mm, and fully insulated female terminals, where the PVC sleeve also covers the contact surface. There are also male-to-male connectors in 6.4 mm width for joining two wires.
The terminal is fitted to the stripped end of a wire by crimping it with crimping pliers designed for insulated terminals. The set is suitable for low-voltage connections in vehicles, work machines and equipment where the joint needs to be detachable. Crimping pliers for insulated terminals are needed separately for installation.
Intended use and suitability:
The assortment is designed for terminating stranded conductors with detachable spade terminals in low-voltage systems.
- Vehicle electrics: connecting auxiliary lights, sensors and audio systems, and repairing damaged connections in 12 and 24 volt systems.
- Work machines: wiring lights, switches and relays in service and repair work.
- Equipment repair: detachable connections where a component must be removable without cutting the wire.
- Extending wires: male-to-male connectors join two wires terminated with female terminals.

Features:
- 240 terminals in ten types: the most common spade terminals in one pack.
- Colour-coded insulation: red for 0.5–1.5 mm² and blue for 1.5–2.5 mm² wires.
- Brass terminal: conducts electricity and withstands crimping while keeping its shape.
- PVC insulation: protects the joint and acts as strain relief for the wire insulation.
- Fully insulated female terminals: the insulation also covers the contact surface and prevents short circuits against metal surfaces.
- Two tab widths: 6.4 mm and 4.8 mm terminals in the same set.
- Compartment box: the types stay separate and the right terminal is quick to find.

Yato Abico crimp terminal set instructions for use:
Preparation: Switch off the power and make sure the circuit is dead. Choose the terminal by the conductor cross-section: red 0.5–1.5 mm² and blue 1.5–2.5 mm². Choose the type and tab width that match the mating part.
Stripping: Strip 5–7 mm of insulation from the end of the wire with wire strippers without damaging the strands. Twist the strands lightly together.
Crimping: Push the stripped end into the terminal sleeve until the wire insulation touches the edge of the sleeve. Place the terminal in the jaw that matches the colour code on the crimping pliers and squeeze the handles fully closed.
Check: Pull lightly on the wire: the terminal must not move. Connect the terminal to the mating part and check that the connection is tight.
Storage: Return unused terminals to their own compartments in the box and store the box in a dry place.
Warnings:
- Work only on a de-energised circuit. Switch off the power and disconnect the battery earth lead before starting work.
- Use crimping pliers designed for insulated terminals. A joint crimped with general-purpose pliers can come loose and heat up.
- Choose the terminal by the conductor cross-section. The wrong size leaves the joint loose and increases contact resistance.
- Do not use the terminals in fixed 230 volt mains installations; these follow the electrical installation regulations and use approved connection methods.
- The terminals are small parts: choking hazard. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
Frequently asked questions, FAQ:
What do the red and blue colours mean? Red terminals are for 0.5–1.5 mm² wires and blue terminals for 1.5–2.5 mm² wires. The colours match the markings on the jaws of the crimping pliers.
What kind of pliers do the terminals need? Crimping pliers designed for insulated crimp terminals, with red and blue markings on the jaws. Ordinary pliers do not crimp the sleeve into the right shape.
What does fully insulated female terminal mean? The PVC insulation surrounds the whole terminal, including the contact surface, which prevents a short circuit if the terminal touches a metal surface.
Can the terminals be used on 230 volt mains voltage? The set is designed for low-voltage systems in vehicles and machines, such as 12 and 24 volt circuits. Fixed mains installations use connection methods approved for them.
What is the male-to-male connector used for? It joins two wires terminated with female terminals, so the joint can be undone without cutting the wire.
Recycling instructions:
The empty plastic box is recycled as hard plastic in plastic collection. Unused and faulty terminals consist of brass and PVC insulation: take them to metal collection, or to a WEEE collection point if the metal cannot be separated from the plastic. Packaging cardboard goes to cardboard collection.
