3M 7000133342 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire sizes does the 3M Scotchlok MV10-8FBX fork terminal accept?
The MV10-8FBX block fork terminal is built for 12 to 10 AWG stranded or solid copper wire (3.31 to 5.26 mm2). The barrel inside diameter is 0.135 inch, and the insulation sleeve will pass conductor insulation up to 0.145 inch outside diameter. Run a smaller conductor than 12 AWG and the crimp won't hold; the yellow color code is your quick field check that you're on the 12-10 range.
2) Is this 3M terminal rated for 600 volt control wiring?
The MV10-8FBX carries a maximum recommended voltage rating of 600 V and a UL file number of E23438. Maximum operating temperature is 105 C (221 F), which covers typical panel and control cabinet ambient plus conductor rise. It's also RoHS 2011/65/EU compliant without exemption if you're specifying for an export build.
3) What is the difference between a block fork terminal and a standard fork terminal?
A block fork has a squared-off tongue profile made to seat flat inside the narrow channel of a terminal block, where a standard spade tongue can foul the barrier walls. The MV10-8FBX is the block style, so it's the right choice for barrier strips and terminal blocks on control panels and network infrastructure gear. If you're landing on an open stud on a motor or a bus bar, a ring terminal is the better pick because it can't vibrate off the screw.
4) What material and insulation is used on the 3M Scotchlok MV10-8FBX?
The barrel is ETP copper with a brazed seam, sleeved in vinyl (polyvinyl chloride). The brazed barrel resists splitting under a heavy 10 AWG crimp the way a butt-seam barrel can, and the funnel-shaped vinyl sleeve lets you feed stranded wire in without birdcaging the strands. Made in the United States.
5) How many 3M MV10-8FBX fork terminals come in a case?
They ship 50 per bottle, 500 per case. The bottle packaging is what you want on a cart or in a van bin, since you can pour out a handful without hunting through a strip. For a panel shop standardizing on 12-10 AWG control terminations, the 500 count case is the stocking quantity.
6) Can I use these fork terminals on network and telecom infrastructure equipment?
Yes. 3M lists the MV10-8FBX as a solution for wireless network infrastructure accessories, and the block fork profile with a #8 stud size matches the grounding and power terminal blocks common on that gear. Confirm the conductor is in the 12-10 AWG band and the block screw is a #8 before you commit a whole case.
