3M Highland Vinyl-Insulated Block Fork Terminal
The 3M Highland Vinyl-Insulated Block Fork Terminal is a vinyl-insulated, butted seam fork terminal engineered for fast, reliable wire-to-stud connections in electrical, control panel, and industrial wiring applications. This Highland series terminal is offered in a Wire Range / Stud Size configuration spanning 16-14 AWG - #6 Stud, 22-18 AWG - #6 Stud, and 22-18 AWG - #8 Stud, letting installers match the terminal to the stud hardware and conductor gauge used in their panel or enclosure. Color-coded insulation corresponds to wire range for quick visual identification during installation and troubleshooting, and each bag ships 25 terminals so electricians and maintenance crews can keep a ready supply on hand for panel builds, repairs, and retrofit work.
Key Features
- Wire Range Options: Available in 16-14 AWG and 22-18 AWG conductor ranges, covering typical control, signal, and low-current circuit wiring.
- Stud Size Options: Offered in #6 Stud and #8 Stud terminal connections, matching common terminal block and stud hardware used in panels and enclosures.
- Vinyl-Insulated Construction: A vinyl insulation sleeve covers the crimp barrel to help guard against accidental contact and short circuits after installation.
- Butted Seam Block Design: Butted seam construction forms a solid connector body intended for consistent, repeatable crimp connections.
- Color-Coded Insulation: Insulation color corresponds to wire range for quick visual identification during installation and troubleshooting, with red indicating the 22-18 AWG options.
- Fork Terminal Style: The open fork tongue design allows the terminal to slide onto or off of a stud without removing the retaining hardware, simplifying maintenance.
- Bag Quantity: Supplied 25 per bag, providing a convenient, ready-to-use quantity for stocking service trucks, panel shops, and maintenance inventories.
