Where Can I Get These Electrical Connectors?

I’m far from an electrical expert and in need of some help. I’m replacing some connectors and would like to know where I can get these same models.

(1) This 16-14 AWG female spade connector. I found some at my local hardware store, but they didn’t have the small first crimp that crimps the end of the insulated wire to really hold it securely. Any idea on where I can get about 15 of these?

(2) This 16-14 AWG end crimp. I’m not even sure what to call it, it’s not a bullet or a pin connector, but looks like it’s just a crimp to go over the end of the wire to help keep the copper strands crimped together so it can be easily inserted into a screw down type terminal. Again, any idea on where I can get about 15 of these or even what they are?

Thanks for any help.

Thanks for the replies. I'll check both those pages out. Any idea what the 2nd connector is even called or what type it is?

I know it's not broken off unless they did that on purpose as part of the OEM factory assembling process. As far as I can tell, it just crimps all the copper stands together so they easily fit into the terminal and can be clamped down with a single screw to make the connection.

It sure does look like a broken crimp. A crimp for going into a screw block still has a blade coming off of it. If you can show us where it goes, we can be of more help.

Whatever this is, it appears a cut may have been made after the crimp was completed. All wire strands except for two end with the brass.

What does it connect to?

Don't ask.
Digikey, Mouser, Newark. It may be difficult to find a preinsulated terminal with the strain relief crimp. I'd use heat shrink.
Ferrules aren't hard to find but that one looks like a portion of a terminal.

The second is a makeshift wire ferrule. It started life probably as a female terminal, crimped and then snipped off. There’s evidence where the terminal screw was.
