3M 7100164026 Non-insulated Block Fork Terminal 16-14 Awg

Product Description

The 3M 7100164026 is a non-insulated block fork terminal designed for use in terminal block applications where flat-sided contact with the barrier portion of the block is required. Built with a brazed seam construction, this terminal accepts 16-14 AWG wire and fits a size 8 stud. Block fork terminals share the same mechanical strength as standard fork terminals but feature sides that lie flat against the terminal block barrier, making them the correct choice where a conventional fork terminal would not seat properly. Licensed electricians and industrial wiring technicians are the primary installers of this terminal type.

This terminal is suited for residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical panel wiring and control circuit terminations where terminal block connections are specified. Its flat-sided design makes it particularly appropriate for multi-position terminal strips where contact spacing is tight and a flush seating profile is required to maintain proper insulation and barrier alignment.

Key Features

• Flat-sided block fork design seats flush against terminal block barriers for secure, proper fitment
• Brazed seam construction provides the same pull-out strength as standard fork terminals
• Accepts 16-14 AWG wire range for common control and branch circuit applications
• Non-insulated body allows visual inspection of wire insertion depth
• Compatible with size 8 studs, a common terminal block fastener size
• Sold in individual units with a minimum order quantity of 1000 pieces per case

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-use block fork terminal for size 8 stud terminal blocks accepting 16-14 AWG conductors.

Installation Notes

Installation of terminal block fork connectors should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. De-energize and lockout the circuit before terminating any wires. Use the appropriate crimping tool rated for the wire gauge and terminal type to ensure a reliable, gas-tight crimp. Do not over-crimp or under-crimp, as either condition can compromise the mechanical and electrical integrity of the connection.
