3M 7100164008 Insulated Ring Tongue Terminal 16-14 Awg

Product Description

The 3M 7100164008 is an insulated ring tongue terminal designed for secure, vibration-resistant wire terminations in electrical wiring applications. Built with a butted seam construction and rated for 16-14 AWG wire, this terminal accepts a size 8 stud and provides a locked connection that cannot be released without removing the mounting screw. That retention characteristic makes it a preferred choice where accidental disconnection is a concern. Electricians and electrical contractors reach for ring tongue terminals like this one when terminating control wiring, panel grounds, and equipment bonding leads. Sold in a case of 1000 units, this part is suited for contractors and service shops with regular volume needs.

This terminal is appropriate for residential and light commercial electrical work, including control panels, junction boxes, and equipment termination points. The insulated construction protects against incidental contact with adjacent conductors and helps maintain a clean, organized termination. The size 8 stud compatibility covers a wide range of screw terminal blocks and equipment lugs commonly found in HVAC equipment, electrical panels, and motor control wiring.

Key Features

• Ring tongue style provides a locked connection that holds until the mounting screw is removed
• Accepts 16-14 AWG wire range for flexible application across common control and power wire sizes
• Insulated construction reduces risk of contact with adjacent conductors
• Butted seam barrel design for consistent wire grip and termination integrity
• Size 8 stud compatibility suits standard screw terminals and equipment lugs
• Sold in a case of 1000 for high-volume job and shop use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style insulated ring terminal for use with 16-14 AWG wire on size 8 stud fasteners in standard electrical termination applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. De-energize the circuit completely before making any termination. Use a calibrated ratcheting crimping tool rated for insulated terminals to ensure a gas-tight crimp — do not use pliers or non-rated tools. Confirm wire gauge falls within the 16-14 AWG range before crimping; undersized or oversized wire will compromise the connection.
