Hi, looking for **fully insulated male** .187 crimp terminals for
18-22 wire guage (aka spade terminals) in anything other than red.
Seems like red is the prevalent color for this terminal and wire size
but have seen blue used with finished products but cannot find to
buy....Tried usuals like Digikey, Mouser, Newark, Jameco, Action
etc....

Here's a picture of what I'm loooking for;

For those sorts of crimp terminals, the insulation colour indicates
the recommended wire size, so I don't think you'll find an 18-22 crimp
terminal with anything other than red insulation.

You might try http://www.terminaltown.com/ (I haven't used them
myself, but I've seen them recommended elsewhere...)

Bare terminals and color-coded heatshrink?

Magic marker? ;-)

Cheers!

Pete, thanks for the link but no luck there either. I have a DC motor
here that uses what looks to be the said connector with red for
positive and blue for negative crimped to the respective wires. Maybe
the blue one is 14-16 instead of 18-22. Whatever, it seems odd that
one would be forced to use say red connectors where blue or black
would be the norm from a polarity perspective.

Good suggestion for ones and toosies but too labor intensive for
significant quantities. Also, the form of the insulation for the
connectors on the motor mentioned above looks too precise for
heatshrink.
