Catamount TV3 Insulated Fork Terminal, Copper

The Catamount TV3 Insulated Fork Terminal is a solderless copper connector engineered for wire range 16-14 with a stud size of #6. Available with color-coded PVC insulation in Blue or Red for quick wire-range identification, this fork terminal is rated 600V and carries UL E9809 listing for dependable, code-compliant electrical connections. Supplied in a canister, it is built from copper with a molded funnel entry insulator that eases wire insertion and strain relief at the termination point, making it a trusted choice for panel builders and electrical contractors who need a repeatable, reliable connection.

Key Features

  • Wire Range: Designed for 16-14 AWG conductors with a #6 stud size for a secure mechanical and electrical connection.
  • Durable Construction: Copper barrel construction with a brazed seam for consistent conductivity and long-term reliability.
  • Internal Barrel Serrations: Internal serrations grip the conductor firmly, improving pull-out resistance and connection integrity.
  • Molded Funnel Entry Insulator: Color-coded PVC insulation (Blue or Red) with a funnel-entry design simplifies wire insertion while providing insulation over the crimp area.
  • Fork Shape Flange: Fork-shaped terminal end allows quick installation and removal from a stud without fully disconnecting the wire.
  • Voltage Rating: Rated 600V for use in a wide range of low-voltage electrical and control wiring applications.
  • Compatible Application Tools: Designed for use with WT112M and CM2000A crimping tools for proper termination.

Catamount TV18-6F-XV – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is the Catamount TV3 terminal rated for 600V control wiring?
Yes, it is rated 600V and UL Listed under file E9809, which covers it for typical panel, control and motor control center wiring at 600 volts or less.
2) What crimping tool do I need for these Catamount insulated fork terminals?
Catamount specifies the WT112M or the CM2000A crimp tool for the TV3. Use an insulated-terminal crimper matched to the 16-14 AWG nest; a general-purpose pliers crimp on the PVC sleeve will not compress the copper barrel properly and the UL Listing assumes a proper termination.
3) Does the blue or red insulation color change what wire the terminal fits?
No. Both colors are the same 16-14 AWG, #6 stud terminal. Blue is MPN TV14-6F-XV and red is TV18-6F-XV, and the PVC color is there for circuit or wire-range identification on the panel, not a different capacity.
4) Should I use a fork terminal or a ring terminal on a terminal block stud?
A fork (spade) terminal slides on and off a loosened stud without removing the nut or screw entirely, so it is the faster choice for terminal strips, control panels and anything you expect to service. A ring terminal is captive and cannot vibrate off a loose screw, so it is the better pick on motor leads, bus bars and high-vibration equipment. The TV3 is the fork-shape flange version.
5) Are these copper or aluminum terminals, and can I use them on aluminum conductors?
The barrel is copper with a brazed seam, listed for copper conductors only. For aluminum or combination AL/CU conductors you need a terminal marked AL9CU; putting bare copper on aluminum wire creates a dissimilar-metal joint.
6) How many terminals come in a pack, and what are the carton and box counts?
The TV3 ships 100 pieces per canister. For larger buys, the inner carton holds 75 units and the outer box holds 900, which is what to quote against if you are stocking a panel shop rather than buying one canister.
7) Will the crimp hold under pull on stranded control wire?
The barrel carries internal serrations that bite into the strands for pull-out resistance, and the molded funnel-entry PVC insulator gives strain relief and covers the crimp area so the sleeve takes the flex instead of the copper. That funnel entry also keeps stray strands from folding back outside the barrel during insertion.
8) Are these fork terminals supplied on a reel for automated crimping?
No. The TV3 is loose-piece in a canister, not reel-packaged, so it suits hand and bench crimping rather than reel-fed automatic applicators.
