3M 7010397997 Crimp Bullet Connector 16-14 Awg 100 Pack

Product Description

The 3M 7010397997 is a crimp-style bullet connector designed for reliable wire termination on 16 to 14 AWG conductors. The connector features blue nylon insulation and a 0.18-inch bullet diameter, providing a secure, insulated connection point in automotive, marine, HVAC control wiring, and general electrical assemblies. Installation requires a standard crimp tool rated for insulated connectors. Each package contains 100 connectors, making this a practical shop-stock item for electricians and service technicians who regularly terminate low-voltage control wiring.

This connector is suited for residential and light commercial wiring applications where 16 to 14 AWG stranded or solid conductors require a bullet-style termination. Common uses include control panel wiring, appliance harness repairs, thermostat wiring extensions, and field-fabricated wire assemblies. The blue color coding follows the standard insulated connector color convention for the 16 to 14 AWG wire range, allowing technicians to quickly identify the correct connector size during assembly or repair work.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician or service technician using a ratchet-style crimp tool rated for insulated connectors in the 16 to 14 AWG range. De-energize the circuit and verify zero voltage before terminating any conductors. Inspect each crimp for full conductor seating and insulation integrity before restoring power. Follow applicable NEC guidelines for connector use in the intended environment.
