3M 7010351173 Vinyl Insulated Fork Terminal 50 Pack

Product Description

The 3M 7010351173 is a vinyl insulated fork terminal sold in a bottle of 50, referenced by the 3M series designation MV10-8FX. Fork terminals provide a secure, insulated connection point where a wire lug must slip over a screw or stud without fully removing the fastener. The vinyl insulation sleeve protects the conductor barrel and reduces the risk of accidental contact with adjacent conductors or metal enclosure surfaces. This terminal is suited for applications where a reliable, semi-permanent electrical connection is required on control panels, junction boxes, or equipment wiring harnesses. Licensed electricians and experienced panel technicians are the typical installers.

Fork terminals in this family are commonly used in residential and light commercial electrical work, HVAC control wiring, and industrial panel assembly. The MV10-8FX designation indicates this terminal is sized for a specific wire gauge and stud size appropriate to mid-voltage control circuit applications. Where neat, code-compliant terminations are required, vinyl insulated fork terminals are a standard solution. They are packaged 50 per bottle, making them practical for service vans and shop inventory alike.

Key Features

• Vinyl insulation sleeve provides electrical isolation and mechanical protection at the termination point
• Fork or spade design allows connection and disconnection without fully removing the mounting screw or stud
• Sold in a bottle of 50 units for efficient restocking and field use
• MV10-8FX series designation for consistent cross-reference ordering

Compatibility

Designed as a standard vinyl insulated fork terminal for use in control circuit wiring, panel assembly, and equipment termination applications where a fork-style lug connection is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed electrician or qualified technician. Always de-energize the circuit and follow lockout/tagout procedures before terminating or inspecting any wiring. Use a proper ratcheting crimping tool rated for insulated terminals to ensure a secure, gas-tight crimp. NEC guidelines apply to wire sizing, terminal ratings, and enclosure requirements for all electrical terminations.
