3M 7100164093 Insulated Ring Tongue Terminal 12-10 Awg

Product Description

The 3M 7100164093 is an insulated ring tongue terminal designed for secure, permanent electrical connections in a wide range of wiring applications. Built with a butted seam construction and rated for 12-10 AWG wire, this terminal provides a closed-loop ring style tongue that locks around the mounting stud. Because the ring cannot be removed without taking out the mounting screw, it delivers a more reliable mechanical and electrical connection than spade or fork-style alternatives. Electricians and wiring technicians rely on this terminal type where connection integrity is critical and accidental disconnection is not acceptable.

This terminal is suited for panel wiring, control enclosures, equipment grounding, and general electrical assembly work in both residential and light commercial settings. The stud size 8 fitment makes it compatible with common equipment mounting points found across HVAC controls, electrical panels, and motor terminations. It is sold individually as a single unit and is available in minimum quantities of 500, making it appropriate for contractors and assembly shops working at volume.

Key Features

• Ring tongue style prevents accidental removal without unthreading the mounting screw
• Insulated construction for safer handling and reduced risk of shorting adjacent conductors
• Butted seam barrel design for consistent crimping across the 12-10 AWG wire range
• Stud size 8 fits standard equipment and panel mounting hardware
• Lightweight at 0.01 pounds per terminal for easy bulk handling

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style insulated ring terminal for use with 12-10 AWG copper conductors on size 8 mounting studs in standard electrical wiring and termination applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. Always de-energize the circuit and verify with a meter before terminating conductors. Use a calibrated ratcheting crimp tool rated for the terminal barrel size to ensure a gas-tight crimp. Do not solder over a crimped connection unless the terminal is specifically rated for that process.
