3M 7100007055 Block Fork Terminal 16-14 Awg Stud Size 6

Product Description

The 3M 7100007055 is a vinyl insulated, brazed seam block fork terminal designed for secure, rapid wire termination in electrical and control wiring applications. Built to accommodate 16-14 AWG wire with a No. 6 stud size, this terminal features a wider tongue geometry that allows it to seat firmly on free-standing studs without requiring complete stud removal. The vinyl insulation provides a clean, durable barrier around the barrel, and the brazed seam construction adds mechanical integrity at the connection point. Licensed electricians and control wiring technicians are the primary installers of this type of terminal.

This fork terminal is suited for panel wiring, control cabinets, junction boxes, and other electrical assemblies where a reliable, semi-permanent connection to a threaded stud is required. The wider tongue design makes it a preferred choice for free-standing stud applications in both commercial and light industrial environments. It is sold individually but typically stocked and ordered in case quantities of 1000 units, making it appropriate for production wiring and service shops with recurring terminal needs.

Key Features

• Accepts 16-14 AWG wire range for compatibility with common control and branch circuit conductors
• No. 6 stud size fits standard free-standing threaded studs
• Brazed seam barrel construction provides added mechanical strength at the crimp zone
• Vinyl insulation sleeve protects the barrel and aids in visual identification
• Wider tongue block fork design allows rapid connection without full stud removal

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use fork terminal for 16-14 AWG electrical wiring applications requiring a No. 6 stud size connection point.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. De-energize the circuit completely before terminating or repositioning any conductors. Use a calibrated ratcheting crimping tool rated for insulated fork terminals to ensure a proper crimp — an under-crimped barrel is a common failure point. Do not over-tighten the stud fastener, as excessive torque can deform the fork tongue and compromise contact area.
