Alco | 486 Piece Crimp Terminal Kit | Pre-Insulated 300-600V
The Alco ALCPREIKIT-486 is a 486-piece pre-insulated crimp terminal kit for professional cable termination work. It holds ring, fork, splice, quick disconnect, tab disconnect, and heatshrink splice terminals in a compartmentalised case. The ALCPREIKIT-486 terminals are rated 300V or 600V depending on type, with PVC insulation on the crimp terminals and polyolefin on the heatshrink splices.
Loose packets of terminals end up mixed through a tool bag, and finding the right size costs minutes on every termination. The ALCPREIKIT-486 keeps each type in its own compartment, with easy cable entry on every terminal and colour-coded insulation that identifies the conductor range at a glance.
Sparkies working across install, repair, and switchboard jobs carry this size kit as van stock rather than the larger assortments. The three-piece double-grip construction holds the conductor and the cable insulation separately, keeping terminations tight under vibration. The heatshrink splice terminals seal the joint as they shrink, which suits repairs in damp or exposed positions where a standard splice would not hold up.
Features
- 486 piece assortment — ring, fork, splice, quick disconnect, tab disconnect, and heatshrink splice terminals across red, blue, and yellow sizes.
- Pre-insulated terminals — insulation is factory-fitted, so terminals crimp straight onto the conductor with no separate sleeving step.
- Colour-coded insulation — red, blue, and yellow mark the conductor range, so the right terminal is picked by sight without checking a label.
- Three-piece double-grip crimp terminals — the terminal grips the conductor and the cable insulation separately, holding the crimp under vibration and cable pull.
- Heatshrink splice terminals included — polyolefin sleeve shrinks over the joint to seal it, rated 600V and to 105 degrees C.
- Ring terminals across four stud sizes — 3.7mm, 4mm, 5mm, and 6mm ring terminals cover common switchboard and equipment stud fixings.
- 600V rated ring, fork, and splice terminals — suitable for switchboard terminations within the rated conductor range.
- 300V rated disconnect terminals — quick disconnect and tab disconnect terminals are rated 300V, lower than the 600V ring, fork, and splice terminals in the same kit.
- 75 degree C limit on crimp terminals — the PVC-insulated terminals are not rated for terminations inside enclosures or plant running hotter than 75 degrees C.
- Compartmentalised case — each terminal type and size sits in its own compartment, so restocking and stocktake are quick.
- No crimping tool supplied — the ALCPREIKIT-486 is terminals only, so a crimper rated for pre-insulated terminals is needed to use the kit.
Where to use
- Switchboard terminations — ring and fork terminals land conductors onto neutral bars, earth bars, and equipment studs.
- Control and equipment wiring — quick disconnect and tab disconnect terminals suit contactor, relay, and terminal-strip connections.
- Maintenance and fault work — a spread of sizes on hand covers repairs where the existing terminal type is unknown before the enclosure is opened.
- Cable joins in damp or exposed positions — the heatshrink splice terminals in the ALCPREIKIT-486 seal the joint as the sleeve shrinks down.
- Appliance and motor repairs — tab and quick disconnect terminals match common appliance and motor connections.
- Van and site stock — the ALCPREIKIT-486 case travels in a tool bag or van drawer as standing stock across jobs.
The PVC-insulated crimp terminals in this kit are rated to 75 degrees C and are not suitable for high-temperature plant or enclosures that run hotter. Quick disconnect and tab disconnect terminals are rated 300V and must not be used on circuits above that rating. The kit contains no crimping tool, so it is not a complete termination set on its own.
