Panduit PV10-6LF-L Locking Fork Terminal Vinyl

Product Description

The PANDUIT PV10-6LF-L is a vinyl-insulated locking fork terminal designed for secure, vibration-resistant electrical terminations. The locking tongue design prevents the terminal from backing off a stud or screw during installation or service, making it a reliable choice in panel wiring, control enclosures, and equipment connections where accidental disconnection is a concern. Electricians and panel builders use this terminal to terminate stranded conductors at equipment grounding points, bus bars, or terminal blocks. The vinyl insulation provides basic electrical isolation at the termination point.

This locking fork terminal is suited for use in residential and commercial electrical panels, HVAC control wiring, and industrial equipment installations. It is appropriate for applications where standard open-tongue fork terminals present an unacceptable risk of backing off under vibration or mechanical movement. The terminal is sold individually, making it easy to purchase in exact quantities needed for a job.

Key Features

• Locking tongue design resists backing off studs and screws under vibration
• Vinyl insulation provides electrical isolation at the termination point
• Fork-style open end allows installation without fully removing the fastener
• Sold per each (EA), quantity of one per unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-stock locking fork terminal for use in residential and commercial electrical termination applications requiring a vinyl-insulated, locking-tongue fork connector.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with NEC guidelines. De-energize and lock out the circuit before crimping or securing the terminal. Use a calibrated ratchet crimping tool appropriate for the wire gauge and terminal series to ensure a proper mechanical and electrical connection. Do not over-torque the mounting fastener, as this can distort the terminal and compromise the locking feature.
