3M LFV14-8Q Fork Terminal #8 Stud 14 AWG 1000 V Vinyl

3M Fork Terminal #8 Stud 14 AWG

This 3M fork terminal is a crimp-style electrical connector designed for wire termination in automotive and general electrical applications. It accepts a maximum wire size of 14 AWG and fits a #8 stud. The vinyl insulation is rated for a maximum operating temperature of 221 degrees F and a maximum voltage of 1,000 V. The connector features a butted seam and a funnel barrel style for easier wire insertion.

Suits 14 AWG crimp jobs not high-current loads

This terminal suits installers terminating 14 AWG wire onto a #8 stud where vinyl insulation and a 1,000 V rating meet the circuit requirements. The blue colour coding identifies the wire gauge range at a glance. Buyers who need a larger wire capacity, a higher temperature rating, or a different stud size should look at other connectors. It is not for applications requiring sealed or heat-shrink insulation types.

Crimp termination with butted seam

The single specification that decides fit is the termination style: this connector requires a crimp tool compatible with a butted-seam, funnel-barrel terminal. Compatible tool models include TH-440, TH-450 and TR-490. Using an incorrect tool can produce an unreliable joint. Verify your crimper matches these specifications before purchasing.
