Lug or spade - that's the question

[peranders]

What do call the connector at right in the picture?

Is it lug, lug connector, spade connector?

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

Looks like it's a male blade terminal.

 

[SkinnyBoy]

AMP wants to call it a "Tab, Faston, PC Board".

 

[Matttcattt]

i'd call it a spade connector.

 

[peranders]

Spade connector seems to be OK? I think I'll take that.

Male Crimp Connector Tag........

One of my suppliers calls them 6.3mm PCB Tag

Eric.

"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...
