3M 7100164094 Insulated Ring Tongue Terminal 12-10 Awg

Product Description

The 3M 7100164094 is an insulated ring tongue terminal designed for secure, permanent electrical connections in wire termination applications. Built with a butted seam construction and rated for 12-10 AWG wire range, this terminal accepts a 1/4 inch stud size. The ring tongue style is the standard for applications requiring a locked connection — the terminal cannot be removed without first removing the mounting screw or fastener, making it the preferred choice where vibration or accidental disconnection is a concern. Electricians and maintenance technicians use this terminal in panel wiring, equipment grounding, and general electrical assembly work.

This terminal is suited for residential and commercial electrical work where a reliable, insulated ring connection is required. Common applications include control panel terminations, motor wiring, grounding lugs, and bus bar connections. The insulated sleeve provides protection at the termination point, reducing the risk of incidental contact with adjacent conductors. Sold in quantities of 500 per case, this terminal is a practical choice for contractors and electricians who need consistent, production-ready stock on the job or in the shop.

Key Features

• Ring tongue style — secured connection that requires fastener removal to disconnect
• Butted seam barrel construction for consistent crimp performance across the wire range
• Compatible with 12-10 AWG wire range
• Accepts 1/4 inch stud size
• Insulated construction reduces risk of incidental conductor contact at the termination point
• Sold in 500-count case quantity — suitable for production or high-volume service use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style insulated ring terminal for use with 12-10 AWG conductors and 1/4 inch mounting studs in standard electrical termination applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed electricians or qualified technicians following applicable NEC requirements. De-energize the circuit before terminating any conductor. Use a calibrated ratcheting crimping tool appropriate for the terminal barrel size to achieve a secure, gas-tight crimp — do not use pliers or uncalibrated tools as substitutes. Inspect the insulation sleeve after crimping to confirm no cracking or separation has occurred before reinstalling into the panel or enclosure.
