3M MU18-8FLX Fork Terminal #8 Stud 18 AWG 600 V Bare

SKU CH-1V4P-EKW1T

Crimp-style copper fork terminal for #8 studs, accepting 22 to 18 AWG wire at 600 V with a butted seam and RoHS compliance

  • TypeElectrical Connectors
  • Copper contact ensures reliable conductivity
  • Fork design fits #8 stud securely
  • Crimp termination suits 18-22 AWG wire
  • 600 V rating handles high-voltage circuits
  • RoHS 2011/65/EU compliant for environmental safety

18 AWG Fork Terminal for #8 Studs

This 3M fork terminal accepts wire from 22 AWG to 18 AWG and is designed for a #8 stud size. The non-insulated copper barrel with tin finish provides a crimp connection rated for 600 V. It suits electrical and industrial wiring tasks where a bare terminal is required.

Crimp connection with no insulation needed

The butted-seam barrel measures 0.25 in long and the overall length is 0.68 in, fitting into tight terminal blocks without added bulk. Because it has no insulation sleeve, it works directly in environments where bare metal contact is specified and no additional stripping or sleeving is necessary.

Handles up to 600 V and 347 °F

Rated for a maximum of 600 V and a maximum operating temperature of 347 °F, the terminal covers typical low-voltage power and signal circuits. It is not suited for wire larger than 18 AWG, for stud sizes other than #8, or for applications requiring insulated barrels or higher voltage ratings.
