3M 7100164274 Heat Shrink Ring Tongue Terminal 16-14 Awg

Product Description

The 3M 7100164274 is a heat shrink ring tongue terminal designed for secure, insulated electrical connections in professional wiring applications. Built with a brazed seam construction and heat shrink sleeve, this terminal provides a moisture-resistant, strain-relieved termination on 16-14 AWG conductors. The ring tongue style locks around a size 8 stud and cannot be removed without first removing the mounting screw, making it one of the most secure terminal styles for permanent installations. Licensed electricians and assembly technicians use these terminals in panel wiring, control circuits, and equipment harnesses where connection integrity is critical.

This terminal is suited for residential and commercial electrical work, industrial equipment wiring, and control panel assembly. The heat shrink sleeve activates during installation to seal the connection against moisture and vibration. With a minimum order quantity of 250 per case, this part is packaged for shop stock and field service kits. Applications include grounding connections, stud-mounted terminal blocks, and equipment bonding points requiring a captive ring-style lug.

Key Features

• Ring tongue style — cannot be removed unless mounting screw is removed, ensuring a captive and secure connection
• Heat shrink brazed seam construction provides moisture resistance and strain relief at the wire entry
• Compatible with 16-14 AWG wire range for versatile use across common conductor sizes
• Fits size 8 stud for precise, rattle-free mounting
• Sold in quantities of 250 per case, suitable for stocking and high-volume termination work

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style ring tongue terminal for use with 16-14 AWG conductors and size 8 mounting studs in standard electrical termination applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed electrician or qualified technician. De-energize and lock out the circuit before terminating any conductor. Strip the wire to the appropriate length, insert fully into the terminal barrel, and apply heat evenly to the shrink sleeve using a heat gun until the sleeve conforms and the adhesive seals. Do not use an open flame to activate the heat shrink material.
