3M 7100167500 Fork Terminal Red Nylon 8 Stud Crimp

Product Description

The 3M 7100167500 is a standard fork terminal designed for crimp-style wire termination in electrical wiring applications. The terminal features partial nylon insulation in red, identifying it for use with the appropriate wire gauge range in low-voltage and branch-circuit wiring. The fork-style tongue allows the terminal to be connected to a stud without fully removing the fastener, which speeds up service work on terminal strips, ground buses, and equipment panels. This part is sold in a package of 100 units, making it practical for contractors and electricians stocking field supplies or shop inventory.

Fork terminals of this type are used across residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical work wherever a reliable, vibration-resistant mechanical connection to a number 8 stud is required. Common install scenarios include control panel wiring, motor control centers, HVAC equipment control boards, and electrical enclosure terminations. The crimp connection method eliminates solder and reduces installation time. Electricians and HVAC technicians are the primary installers in trade settings.

Key Features

• Fork-style tongue allows stud connection without full fastener removal
• Partial nylon insulation reduces short-circuit risk at the termination point
• Crimp connection type for fast, solder-free installation
• Red color coding for quick wire gauge identification in the field
• Number 8 stud size for compatibility with standard terminal strip hardware
• CSA Certified and UL Listed under UL File E23438 for code-compliant installations
• RoHS 2011/65/EU compliant

Compatibility

Designed as a standard OEM-style crimp fork terminal for use with number 8 studs in residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical wiring and control panel applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed electricians or qualified HVAC technicians. De-energize the circuit and verify zero voltage with a meter before terminating or servicing any wiring. Use a calibrated ratchet crimping tool sized for the terminal and wire gauge to achieve a proper mechanical crimp. Follow NEC requirements for wire sizing, terminal ratings, and enclosure fill when installing in panelboards or control enclosures.
