3M 7010349254 Butt Splice Terminal 8 Awg Red 25 Pack

Product Description

The 3M 7010349254 is a fully insulated, crimp-on butt splice terminal designed to join two conductors end-to-end in a single, secure connection. Built for 8 AWG wire, this terminal features a vinyl insulation sleeve over a copper contact with zinc plating, providing corrosion resistance and electrical integrity in both residential and commercial wiring applications. Each package contains 25 terminals. The red color coding corresponds to the standard industry designation for this wire gauge range, making wire identification fast during installation. Electricians and low-voltage technicians use this terminal wherever a reliable, insulated inline splice is required without the need for heat shrink or tape.

This butt splice terminal is suited for electrical panel work, control wiring, HVAC low-voltage circuits, and general-purpose electrical repairs where 8 AWG conductors need to be joined in-line. The fully insulated vinyl sleeve covers the entire connection after crimping, reducing the risk of accidental contact with live conductors. It is appropriate for use in conduit, junction boxes, and equipment enclosures. The two-entry design accepts one wire per end, creating a straight-through splice. RoHS compliance and UL listing make this terminal acceptable for use in applications that require documented material and safety certifications.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style crimp splice terminal for use with 8 AWG copper conductors in standard electrical and low-voltage wiring applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed electricians or qualified technicians in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. De-energize all circuits before making any splice connection. Use a calibrated ratcheting crimp tool sized for the terminal barrel to ensure a gas-tight crimp; an improper crimp is a primary cause of connection failure and heat buildup. Inspect the vinyl sleeve after crimping to confirm the insulation is intact and fully seated over the barrel.
