3M 7010319496 Standard Fork Terminal Size 8 Stud Crimp

Product Description

The 3M 7010319496 is a standard fork terminal designed for crimp-style wire termination in low-voltage electrical wiring applications. The terminal features partial nylon insulation in blue, which indicates compatibility with the standard wire gauge range associated with blue-coded terminals. The forked (spade) tongue accepts a size 8 stud, allowing the terminated wire to be secured under a screw or binding post without fully removing the fastener. This terminal is commonly installed by electricians and electrical technicians during panel wiring, control wiring, and equipment termination tasks.

This fork terminal is suited for residential and light commercial electrical work where a reliable, removable screw-type connection is needed. The crimp installation method ensures a gas-tight mechanical connection when applied with the appropriate crimping tool. The blue color coding and partial nylon insulation make these terminals easy to sort and handle during high-volume termination work. Each package contains 100 terminals, making them practical for service vehicles, panel shops, and job-site kits.

Key Features

• Size 8 stud fork tongue — fits under a size 8 screw or binding post without full fastener removal
• Partial nylon insulation — provides electrical separation at the barrel while allowing inspection of the crimp
• Blue color coding — standard industry color designation for quick wire gauge identification during installation
• Crimp connection type — forms a secure, gas-tight termination with a standard hand or ratcheting crimping tool
• CSA Certified and UL Listed — meets CSA LR22190 and UL File E23438 requirements
• RoHS 2011/65/EU Compliant — meets restrictions on hazardous substances

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard stocking terminal for crimp-style electrical wiring applications requiring a size 8 stud fork termination with partial nylon insulation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified electricians or electrical technicians following applicable NEC guidelines. Power down and de-energize the circuit before terminating or disturbing any wiring. Use a calibrated crimping tool rated for the terminal barrel size to achieve a proper mechanical and electrical connection — do not use pliers as a substitute. Inspect the finished crimp visually before energizing to confirm full wire insertion and barrel deformation.
