3M 7010349249 Fork Terminal Red Vinyl 8 Stud Crimp 100pk

Product Description

The 3M 7010349249 is a standard fork terminal designed for secure, low-resistance wire termination in electrical and control wiring applications. The terminal uses a crimp connection method and features a copper contact with a TiN (titanium nitride) plating for reliable conductivity and corrosion resistance. Partial vinyl insulation in red provides color-coded identification and basic protection at the barrel. At 0.85 inches overall length and 0.3 inches fork width, this terminal fits standard number 8 studs and suits tight wiring layouts. Electricians and control panel assemblers use this terminal where a removable, screw-down connection is needed without full wire de-termination.

This fork terminal is suited for residential and light commercial electrical work, panel wiring, HVAC control boards, and general low-voltage wiring harnesses. The red color coding indicates compatibility with a specific wire gauge range per standard color convention. Its compact 0.03-inch thickness allows use in close-spaced terminal blocks and equipment panels where clearance is limited. This terminal ships in a 100-piece package, making it practical for service vans and panel assembly work where consistent, repeatable crimps are required across multiple connection points.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-use fork terminal for number 8 stud applications in residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical wiring systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. De-energize the circuit and verify absence of voltage before terminating or re-terminating any conductor. Use a calibrated ratcheting crimp tool rated for the terminal barrel size to achieve a consistent, gas-tight crimp. Do not over-crimp or substitute with non-rated tooling, as this can compromise contact integrity and void certifications.
