3M 7100164012 Insulated Ring Tongue Terminal 16-14 Awg

Product Description

The 3M 7100164012 is an insulated ring tongue terminal designed for secure, permanent electrical connections in panel wiring, control systems, and general electrical assemblies. Built with a butted seam construction and full insulation, this terminal accepts wire in the 16-14 AWG range and fits a size 10 stud. The ring tongue style is the most mechanically secure terminal configuration available — the connection cannot be released unless the mounting screw or fastener is fully removed. Licensed electricians and experienced electrical tradespeople install this type of terminal where vibration resistance and connection integrity are critical.

This terminal is suited for residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical applications where a reliable, insulated crimp connection is required. The size 10 stud compatibility makes it a common fit for equipment grounding points, terminal strips, and control panel lug positions. It is sold in case quantities of 1000, making it a practical bulk supply for contractors and service shops handling ongoing wiring work.

Key Features

• Ring tongue style — cannot be dislodged without removing the mounting fastener
• Accepts 16-14 AWG wire range for versatile conductor sizing
• Fits size 10 stud for standard electrical panel and equipment terminations
• Insulated butted seam construction for safe, reliable crimp connections
• Sold in 1000-piece case quantity for high-volume wiring jobs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style insulated ring terminal for use with 16-14 AWG conductors on size 10 studs in standard electrical termination applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. Always de-energize and lock out the circuit before terminating or inspecting connections. Use a properly calibrated crimp tool rated for insulated terminals in the 16-14 AWG range to ensure a secure, gas-tight crimp. Do not solder over a crimped insulated terminal, as this can compromise the insulation and connection integrity.
