It provides the same mechanical holding strength as a standard fork terminal, but its sides lie flat against the barrier portion of a terminal block, making it compatible with barrier-style terminal block installations where a conventional fork terminal would not seat correctly. Electricians and panel wiring technicians use this terminal where secure, low-profile connections to terminal blocks are required. The vinyl insulation protects the connection from incidental contact and provides basic strain relief at the wire entry point.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis block fork terminal is suited for residential and light commercial electrical applications, control wiring, and panel work where terminal blocks are the primary connection method. Its flat-sided geometry allows it to lie flush against barrier strips, which is a requirement in many instrumentation, control panel, and HVAC low-voltage wiring scenarios. Sold in packs of 10 bags, it is appropriate for service technicians and panel builders who need a reliable, insulated fork connection for 22-18 AWG conductors at number 8 stud positions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccepts 22-18 AWG wire range for versatile low-voltage and control circuit use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlat-sided block fork geometry seats flush against terminal block barriers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVinyl insulation provides electrical protection and wire entry strain relief\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber 8 stud size fits standard terminal block stud configurations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDelivers equivalent mechanical strength to a standard open-barrel fork terminal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit terminal for barrier-style terminal blocks accepting a number 8 stud and 22-18 AWG wire.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. De-energize and lock out the circuit before crimping or connecting any terminal. Use a calibrated ratchet crimping tool sized for 22-18 AWG insulated terminals to ensure a proper crimp that retains both the wire conductor and the insulation barrel. Do not over-strip the wire; follow the terminal manufacturer's strip length guidance to prevent exposed conductor beyond the insulation barrel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWire Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: 22-18 AWG\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStud Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsulation Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTerminal Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Block Fork\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10 bags\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.06 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC\u003c\/strong\u003e: 00051128599952\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3M\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7000133653\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"3M","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51347954008370,"sku":"7000133653","price":109.87,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310530780.jpg?v=1782116747","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/3m-7000133653-block-fork-terminal-awg-22-18-stud-8","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
