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.

Technical Specifications

3M BFV14-6Q – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Which wire gauge and stud size combinations does the 3M Highland block fork terminal come in?
Three combinations: 16-14 AWG for a #6 stud (BFV14-6Q), 22-18 AWG for a #6 stud (BFV18-6Q), and 22-18 AWG for a #8 stud (BFV18-8Q). Pick by the conductor you are crimping and the stud hardware already in the panel. There is no 16-14 AWG version for a #8 stud, so if you are landing 14 AWG on a #8 stud this is not the terminal for that job.
2) Will a fork terminal work on a #8 stud in my control cabinet, or do I need a ring terminal?
The 22-18 AWG version of the Highland terminal is made for a #8 stud and will slide under the nut or washer without removing the hardware, which is the main reason electricians use a fork tongue for panel work. A ring terminal is the better choice where vibration or accidental pull-off is a concern, since the fork's open tongue can back off the stud if the nut loosens.
3) Can I use the 22-18 AWG Highland fork terminal on 16 AWG control wire?
No. The 22-18 AWG terminals are built for conductors in that range only; 16 AWG belongs in the 16-14 AWG terminal, BFV14-6Q, which is made for a #6 stud. Oversizing the wire into a 22-18 barrel gives you a crimp that will not hold.
4) What does the red insulation on these 3M Highland terminals tell me about wire size?
Red is the color-coded insulation on the 22-18 AWG options, so a red Highland fork terminal on the bench is a small-gauge control or signal terminal, not a 16-14 AWG one. The insulation is vinyl and covers the crimp barrel to guard against accidental contact after it is landed.
5) How many 3M Highland fork terminals come in a bag?
25 terminals per bag. That is sized for restocking a service truck or panel shop rather than a single repair, and each bag is one wire range and stud size, so a shop standardizing on both #6 and #8 studs needs separate bags.
6) Is the butted seam construction on these Highland terminals a problem for repeatable crimps?
No. The butted seam block body is formed so the barrel stays solid under the crimp die, which is what gives a consistent connection across a run of terminations. Crimp it with a tool matched to insulated terminals in the stated AWG range so the vinyl sleeve is not split.
7) Are these 3M fork terminals suitable for MRO and panel build work rather than just new construction?
Both. The Highland fork terminal is used for electrical panel and control cabinet wiring, terminal block and stud connections, industrial machine wiring, harness termination, and MRO repair work as well as new and retrofit installs. The fork tongue in particular shortens maintenance work, since a terminal can be pulled off a stud without taking the nut all the way off.
