3M 7010397394 Fork Terminal Blue Vinyl 8 Stud Crimp 100pk

Product Description

The 3M 7010397394 is a standard fork terminal designed for secure, crimp-style wire terminations in electrical wiring applications. The terminal features a partially insulated vinyl sleeve in blue, copper contacts with TiN plating, and a number 8 stud size. With an overall length of 0.85 inches, a fork width of 0.30 inches, and a body thickness of 0.03 inches, it is sized for compact panel and control wiring work. Licensed electricians and instrumentation technicians install these terminals when connecting stranded or solid conductors to screw or stud terminations in panels, junction boxes, and control enclosures.

This fork terminal is suited for residential and commercial electrical installations where a removable ring-free connection to a stud or screw terminal is required. The blue color coding and partial vinyl insulation make it straightforward to organize and identify wire runs during installation and maintenance. It is commonly used in control panels, HVAC low-voltage wiring, and general electrical wiring assemblies where NEC-compliant terminations are required. Each package contains 100 terminals.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-purpose fork terminal compatible with number 8 stud electrical termination points in standard panel and control wiring applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed electrician or qualified technician in accordance with NEC requirements. De-energize the circuit completely before crimping or connecting terminals. Use a calibrated ratchet crimping tool appropriate for the conductor gauge and terminal type to ensure a gas-tight, pull-out-resistant crimp. Do not solder over a crimped connection, as this can create a stress point and compromise the joint.
