Red vinyl fork terminals for 18 AWG wire

These 3M fork terminals accept 18 AWG down to 22 AWG copper wire and fit a #8 stud. The vinyl insulation is colour-coded red and rated for 600 V and 221 degrees F. A brazed seam resists opening under stress, and the pack contains 100 pieces for panel or harness work.

Crimp-only installation with basic hand tools

A standard ratchet crimper for insulated terminals makes a reliable connection in one squeeze. The vinyl sleeve slides over the wire first, so the crimp captures both conductor and insulation. Over-crimping can split the sleeve, while under-crimping leaves a loose wire that pulls out under vibration.

Limited to 18 AWG and 600 V circuits

The terminal is certified only for wires between 22 and 18 AWG at up to 600 V. It will not accept thicker conductors, and the vinyl insulation is not rated for higher temperatures or voltages. Use a different terminal when the circuit exceeds these limits or when a ring tongue is required for secure bolt retention.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the crimp on these 18 AWG fork terminals is secure after installation?

After crimping, tug the wire firmly; it should not pull out. Inspect the brazed seam to ensure it is fully closed and the vinyl insulation shows no cracks. The connection uses copper material rated for 600 V and 221 °F.

What comes in the package and what extra items are required to use these terminals?

The box contains 100 red vinyl-insulated fork terminals for #8 studs, accepting 22–18 AWG wire. You must supply the wire and a suitable crimping tool; no other components are included.

Which wire gauge range should I select for a 600 V circuit using these #8 stud terminals?

These terminals accept 22 AWG minimum to 18 AWG maximum. Choose 18 AWG wire for the highest current capacity within the 600 V rating, or 22 AWG for lighter loads.
