3M 7100164096 Insulated Ring Tongue Terminal 12-10 Awg

Product Description

The 3M 7100164096 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, this terminal accepts a 3/8 inch stud and provides a closed-ring contact that stays locked on the mounting point unless the fastener is removed. It is installed by licensed electricians and maintenance technicians working on panel wiring, equipment grounding, and general wire termination tasks where a permanent, vibration-resistant connection is required.

This terminal is suited for residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical work where a reliable ring-style lug is needed. The insulated sleeve protects the conductor barrel and helps prevent accidental contact with adjacent conductors. Sold in a minimum quantity of 500 units per order, making it appropriate for contractors and shops stocking consumable termination hardware.

Key Features

• Ring tongue style provides a locked connection that cannot be removed without loosening the mounting fastener
• Insulated barrel protects the terminated conductor and reduces risk of incidental contact
• Butted seam barrel construction accommodates 12-10 AWG conductors
• 3/8 inch stud size suits common equipment and panel termination points
• Sold in quantities of 500 for job-site and shop stocking efficiency

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style ring tongue terminal for use with 12-10 AWG wire on 3/8 inch threaded studs in standard electrical termination applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed electrician. De-energize and lock out the circuit before terminating any conductors. Use a calibrated ratcheting crimping tool rated for insulated terminals to ensure a gas-tight crimp; do not use pliers or non-rated tools. Refer to NEC Article 110 for general termination and tightening requirements applicable to ring terminals.
