3M 7100165274 Vinyl Insulated Ring Terminal 100/bottle

Product Description

The 3M 7100165274 is a vinyl-insulated ring terminal sold in bottles of 100, also referenced by the model designation MVU18-8R/SX. Ring terminals of this type provide a secure, insulated electrical connection point where a wire is fastened under a screw or stud. The vinyl sleeve protects the crimped barrel from moisture and abrasion while maintaining electrical isolation at the connection point. Licensed electricians, HVAC technicians, and panel installers use terminals like this when terminating control wiring, grounding conductors, or low-voltage circuits at equipment studs and bus bars.

This ring terminal is suited for residential and light commercial wiring applications where a reliable, insulated mechanical connection is required. Typical use cases include control panel wiring, junction box terminations, motor control circuits, and equipment grounding. The bottle quantity of 100 pieces makes it practical for shop stock or service van inventory where terminal replacements are frequent.

Key Features

• Vinyl insulation provides electrical isolation and abrasion resistance at the crimp point
• Ring tongue design secures under screw or stud for a captive, vibration-resistant connection
• 100-piece bottle packaging suits shop stock and recurring service work
• Model designation MVU18-8R/SX for cross-reference ordering

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style insulated ring terminal for use in general electrical, HVAC control wiring, and light commercial panel termination applications where a vinyl-insulated ring lug is specified.

Installation Notes

Ring terminals are installed by licensed electricians or qualified HVAC technicians in accordance with NEC requirements for the circuit type and conductor gauge. De-energize the circuit and verify zero voltage with a meter before terminating or disturbing any wiring. Use a calibrated ratcheting crimp tool rated for insulated terminals to ensure a secure, gas-tight crimp. Do not solder over a crimped insulated terminal, as heat can damage the vinyl sleeve and compromise the connection.
