for the love of God?! 8ga female spade terminals???

[supermanotorious]

I NEED an 8 gauge crimp on female spade terminal, but I cannot find onlines or in stores

tell me the're out there!!

 

[Whitetrashrocker]

When your needing 8ga or larger a crimp won't handle the amp load. Solder that bad boy for max current flow.

 

[supermanotorious]

that's fine, I can solder anything with my 1" iron!! the main point is I need an 8ga female spade, doesnt have to be crimp on

found these but damm, got to place a min order of $25 and even with that they'll hit you with a $10 "low volume order" charge

eh?

 

[supermanotorious]

eh?

not what I'm seeking

 

[Bbqjoe]

Whenever I'm seeking big 'ol chunky connectors, I look at the welding supplies.

 

[supermanotorious]

I mean I'm looking for female disconnects

 

[Whitetrashrocker]

Again, why?

I wouldn't want to run 50 amps through a surface contact. Just asking for problems IMO.

Electric 101. Weak or bad connections make heat and energy loss. Also another spot for electrolysis to happen.

Big wire, short runs, few connections.

Digikey might have it...

it's not going to carry high amperage, it's the charging wire off my converter, it runs through a 30 amp relay for my auto transfer system, I just need it for a clean install, honestly a female quick disconnect with a male piggy back would be perfect

Just the female ? What is its mate ? 1/4 5/16 3/16 ?

The 8awg fasron connector is a rare find due to amperage. If you are looking for just a 1/4 wide faston to mate with something just get this and use the female. Strip wire to butt against end fold tabs solder and shring tube over.

Can you replace the mating side? could just buy a battery quick connect. Like this.

but it is for 2 wire....

its got to attach to the 1/4" tab on the relay

Get the one like i linked to a few posts above and attach like i suggested.
I also did electronics manufacturing for years and that should do the job.

 

[pRoFiT]

Is it a standard car style Relay? Could you just use a relay socket?

maybe this one is better for high current

Depends on the Relay you have.

 

[supermanotorious]

it's a standard 12V relay, LISTEN ya'll, I just want the doggone one I'm askin for!

Well ok then. Mouser does have the crimp in 8 gauge, are you ready to buy a minimum of 5000 ?
I looked for quite a while for you but I shall be done now with your above statement.

Good luck

Have you tried to look for 10ga... They are a bit more common than the 8...

 

[itsid]

really?

first hit:
https://www.fdgate.com/product/100-...e-female-spade-crimp-terminal-connectors.html

3.5mm is a hair bigger than a 8AWG (which is 3.26mm in diameter)

even larger :
https://de.aliexpress.com/item/UXCE...2793715346.html?spm=2114.47010708.4.36.i1hrDc

i you get rid of your stupid American wire gauge and convert it to globally accepted standard measurements, then you'll find them EVERYWHERE!

And yes even us-shops list 3.5mm crimps of all kinds...
bullet connectors are more common (when looking for pairs) but spade... is a google search away as well
