3M 7100164004 Ring Tongue Terminal 16-14 Awg Size 10

Product Description

The 3M 7100164004 is a ring tongue terminal designed for reliable wire termination in electrical and control wiring applications. It accommodates wire sizes from 16 to 14 AWG and fits a number 10 stud size. The ring-style tongue is the standard closed-end design, meaning the terminal cannot be disconnected unless the mounting screw is fully removed. This makes it one of the more secure mechanical termination options available. Electricians and control panel builders use this terminal where vibration or accidental disconnection is a concern. It is sold in cases of 1000.

This terminal is suited for residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical work where 16 to 14 AWG conductors are being landed on number 10 fasteners. Common applications include control panels, junction boxes, motor wiring connections, and equipment grounding. The closed ring design holds position on the stud even before the fastener is fully torqued, which simplifies installation in tight spaces or multi-wire assemblies.

Key Features

• Ring tongue style — terminal stays on stud until fastener is deliberately removed
• Wire range: 16-14 AWG
• Stud size: number 10
• Sold in cases of 1000 for production, panel shop, or service truck stocking
• Secure mechanical connection suitable for vibration-prone environments

Compatibility

Designed as a standard ring tongue terminal for use with 16 to 14 AWG conductors on number 10 studs, compatible with typical screw terminals, grounding bars, and equipment lugs using that fastener size.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed electricians or qualified technicians following NEC guidelines. De-energize the circuit completely before crimping and landing any terminal. Use a calibrated crimping tool rated for the terminal series to ensure a gas-tight mechanical crimp — never use pliers as a substitute crimper. Inspect the completed crimp and seating on the stud before restoring power.
