3M 7010397398 Butt Splice Terminal Vinyl Crimp-on Yellow 50 Pack

Product Description

The 3M 7010397398 is a fully insulated vinyl butt splice terminal designed for making secure, in-line wire connections using a standard crimp-on installation method. Each terminal measures 1.08 inches in overall length and features a yellow color designation, which corresponds to a specific wire gauge range for quick field identification. With two wire entries, this terminal creates a straight-through splice between two conductors without soldering. Electricians and low-voltage technicians use this type of terminal where reliable, insulated splices are required in panel wiring, equipment repair, and general electrical assembly work.

This butt splice terminal is suited for residential and commercial electrical applications where a clean, insulated wire-to-wire connection is needed. The vinyl insulation provides a protective barrier over the crimp zone after installation. Sold in a package of 50 units, this part is appropriate for jobs that require multiple splices or for keeping a working stock on hand. The RoHS 2011/65/EU compliant rating makes it acceptable on projects with material restriction requirements.

Key Features

• Fully insulated vinyl construction protects the crimped connection zone
• Crimp-on connection type requires no soldering
• Yellow color coding enables fast wire gauge identification during installation
• Two wire entries support a single in-line butt splice configuration
• RoHS 2011/65/EU compliant for restricted-substance-sensitive applications
• Packaged in quantities of 50 for multi-splice jobs or shop stock

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard stocking terminal compatible with typical crimp-on butt splice applications in residential and commercial electrical wiring systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed electricians or qualified low-voltage technicians using an appropriate ratcheting or standard wire terminal crimping tool matched to the terminal size. De-energize the circuit completely before stripping conductors and inserting them into the terminal. Strip conductors to the length recommended for the terminal to ensure full contact within the barrel. Do not use pliers in place of a proper crimping tool, as an improper crimp can result in a high-resistance or failed connection.
