3M 7000133650 Block Fork Terminal 16-14 Awg Stud Size 8

Product Description

The 3M 7000133650 is a vinyl insulated block fork terminal designed for use with 16-14 AWG wire and a stud size 8 fastener. This terminal features a flat-sided fork profile that lies flush against the barrier portion of a terminal block, making it purpose-built for terminal block installations where a standard open-barrel fork terminal would not seat properly. It provides the same mechanical holding strength as a conventional fork terminal while maintaining the low-profile geometry required for block mounting. Electricians and panel wiring technicians install these terminals during control panel builds, field wiring, and retrofit work where secure, insulated ring-style terminations are required at terminal blocks.

The 7000133650 block fork terminal is suited for residential and commercial electrical applications involving terminal block wiring. Typical install scenarios include control panels, junction boxes, and equipment wiring where 16-14 AWG conductors must terminate at barrier-style terminal strips with a stud size 8 connection point. The vinyl insulation provides electrical protection at the barrel and reduces the risk of incidental contact with adjacent terminals on a densely populated terminal block.

Key Features

• Flat-sided fork profile seats flush against terminal block barriers — compatible with barrier-style terminal strips
• Accepts 16-14 AWG wire range for versatile use across common control and power circuits
• Stud size 8 fastener compatibility for standard terminal block hardware
• Vinyl insulation at the barrel provides electrical protection and strain relief
• Same holding strength as standard fork terminals in a block-optimized geometry
• Sold in packs with a minimum order quantity of 10 bags for job-site stocking

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-use block fork terminal for barrier-style terminal blocks accepting stud size 8 hardware with 16-14 AWG conductors.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed electricians or qualified panel wiring technicians. De-energize and lock out the circuit before terminating or removing any wiring, following applicable NFPA 70 (NEC) lockout/tagout requirements. Strip conductors to the recommended length for the terminal barrel and use a calibrated ratcheting crimping tool sized for 16-14 AWG insulated terminals to ensure a consistent, gas-tight crimp. Do not over-torque the stud fastener, as excessive force can deform the flat fork sides and compromise seating against the terminal block barrier.
