3M 7010397424 Locking Fork Terminal 6 Stud Crimp 100pk

Product Description

The 3M 7010397424 is a locking fork terminal designed for secure crimp-style wire terminations in electrical panels, control wiring, and equipment grounding applications. The partially insulated nylon barrel accepts a standard crimping tool and locks onto a No. 6 stud to resist vibration-induced loosening. The blue color coding identifies the terminal for use with the appropriate wire gauge range per standard industry color conventions. This terminal is packaged in quantities of 100 and is suited for licensed electricians, HVAC controls technicians, and panel builders who need a reliable, code-compliant fork connection.

This locking fork terminal is used in residential and light commercial electrical work where a removable yet vibration-resistant stud connection is required. Common applications include control panel wiring, equipment bonding lugs, terminal blocks, and low-voltage control circuits. The crimp connection method provides a gas-tight termination when installed with a properly calibrated crimping tool. The nylon insulation sleeve provides dielectric protection at the barrel while leaving the fork tines exposed for stud contact.

Key Features

• Locking fork design resists backing off under vibration on No. 6 stud hardware
• Partially insulated nylon barrel for dielectric protection at the crimp zone
• Blue color coding for wire gauge identification per industry standard conventions
• Crimp termination provides a reliable gas-tight mechanical connection
• UL Listed and CSA Certified for use in code-compliant installations
• RoHS 2011/65/EU compliant construction

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style crimp fork terminal for use on No. 6 stud fasteners in standard electrical and control wiring applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician or controls technician in accordance with NEC requirements. De-energize all circuits before terminating or removing any wiring connections. Use a calibrated ratcheting crimping tool sized for the terminal barrel to ensure a proper gas-tight crimp. Do not over-crimp or use pliers as a substitute for a proper crimping tool, as this can damage the nylon insulation and compromise the connection.
