Scotchlok MV14-8FX – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Scotchlok MV14-8FX fork terminal fit a #8 screw or stud?
Yes. The MV14-8FX is built for a #8 stud, with a 0.29 inch clearance across the fork opening so it slides around a #8 screw without backing the screw all the way out. That slotted tongue is why electricians use fork terminals on free-standing studs and terminal strips instead of ring terminals.
2) What wire gauge does the blue Scotchlok MV14-8FX fork terminal crimp?
16 to 14 AWG stranded building wire. The blue insulation is the standard color code for that range, so a panel full of blue barrels tells you at a glance the conductors are 16-14 AWG. For 22-16 AWG you need a red-coded terminal; for 12-10 AWG, yellow.
3) Will the insulation sleeve go over my wire if it has thick jacketing?
The barrel accepts conductors with an insulation outer diameter up to 0.170 inch. Standard THHN or MTW in 16-14 AWG falls under that, but heavy-wall or double-insulated leads can be oversized and will bottom out against the vinyl sleeve instead of seating in the barrel. Measure the OD of the jacket, not just the copper, before you buy a case.
4) Is this fork terminal rated for 600V control panel and building wire work?
600V is the maximum recommended voltage rating, which covers standard 120/208 and 277/480 building wire and industrial control panel terminations. It is UL Listed under file E23438 and CSA certified under LR22190, so it satisfies inspectors looking for a listed termination on a listed assembly.
5) Can I use these terminals in an unconditioned rooftop or boiler room enclosure?
Rated to 105 degrees C (221 degrees F) maximum operating temperature, so the vinyl holds up in hot mechanical rooms, rooftop RTU control boxes, and attic junction enclosures. Cold side of the range goes down to -40, which covers outdoor winter service in northern climates.
6) Should I use a fork terminal or a ring terminal on this connection?
Use the fork when you want to land or pull the wire without fully removing the screw, which is most terminal blocks, barrier strips, and free-standing studs where access is tight. Use a ring terminal when the connection is subject to vibration or when a spec requires a captive termination, because a ring cannot slip off a loosened screw. The MV14-8FX is the fork version for 16-14 AWG on a #8 stud.
7) How much room does this terminal need inside a crowded terminal block or panel?
Overall length is 0.9 inch (22.86 mm) and width is 0.34 inch (8.6 mm), with a tongue thickness of 0.03 inch (0.76 mm). That 0.34 inch width is the number to check against your terminal block pitch if you are landing adjacent terminals side by side, and the thin 0.03 inch tongue stacks without crowding the screw head.
8) How many Scotchlok MV14-8FX terminals come in a pack?
100 per bottle. The bottle packaging is practical for a service van or a panel build where you are pulling terminals one at a time rather than feeding a strip crimper.
9) What is the Scotchlok fork terminal made of, and will it corrode in a damp location?
The barrel and tongue are ETP (electrolytic tough pitch) copper with a tin-plated finish, and the barrel seam is brazed rather than butt-formed. Tin plating over copper resists the surface oxidation that raises resistance at a termination, which matters in damp basements, pump rooms, and exterior enclosures. The vinyl sleeve also gives the conductor some strain relief at the barrel mouth.
10) Are these Scotchlok terminals RoHS compliant for a government or institutional spec?
Yes, RoHS 2011/65/EU compliant without exemption, which is what procurement groups with an environmental purchasing policy are looking for. Pair that with the UL Listing and CSA certification and it clears most institutional and federal submittal requirements for insulated wire terminals.
