Lug or spade - that's the question - Page 2

sam9 · 8th January 2004, 07:20 PM

"Faston" is (I think) a registered trade name and I don't think that all "tab"s (which is how I think of them) are "Faston"s, but perhaps all Fastons are "tabs" or thier inverse.

***>>>!!! What I really want to know is where I can get gold plated ones and the associated gold plated crimp-on terminals to go with them!

I just call them spade terminals, but i have also heard "lugs" and "tabs"

I think spade is an english thing, it looks kind of like a square ended garden shovel, which they call a "spade"

No...a spade is those with a "split in the middle and u need to screw it down...a lug is just a piece with a hole in the middle...and Faston is some registered name...but it's the correct one for u...it's getting messy...
