3M 7010397996 Crimp Bullet Connector 16-14 Awg 100 Pack

Product Description

The 3M 7010397996 is a crimp-style bullet connector designed for 16 to 14 AWG wire. It features a blue nylon insulating sleeve that provides basic mechanical protection at the termination point and helps with quick visual identification of the wire gauge range. This connector is used to create quick-disconnect bullet-style terminations in low-voltage wiring runs across HVAC control circuits, automotive wiring, appliance harnesses, and general electrical panel or field wiring. Installation requires a standard ratcheting crimp tool sized for insulated connectors. Each package contains 100 connectors, making it a practical choice for field stock or shop inventory.

This connector is suited for residential and light commercial electrical and HVAC wiring applications where a reliable, insulated inline or pigtail connection is needed on 16 or 14 AWG stranded or solid copper conductors. The blue color coding follows the standard AWG color convention for this gauge range, allowing technicians to sort and identify connectors quickly on the job. It is installed by electricians, HVAC technicians, and appliance service techs working on low-voltage or line-voltage control wiring.

Compatibility

Designed for use with 16 to 14 AWG copper conductors in low-voltage control wiring, appliance harness repair, and general electrical termination applications.

Installation Notes

A ratcheting insulated-connector crimp tool is required for a proper termination — do not use open-jaw or slip-joint pliers as a substitute. De-energize the circuit and confirm zero voltage before making or breaking any connection. Follow applicable NEC requirements for connector selection and wire gauge matching. Inspect each crimp for full conductor insertion and a secure sleeve grip before restoring power.
