- Brand: 3M
- Product Line: Scotchlok
- Certifications: UL Listed and CSA Certified where appropriate
- Key Features: Easy installation, reliable performance, variety of types/sizes/materials, temperature and weather resistance.
Key Features and Benefits:
- Insulation Grip: Provides a "second" crimp on wire insulation for additional strain relief, ideal for high vibration applications.
- Funnel Barrel Construction: Ensures positive, easy wire insertion, prevents strand hang-ups, and eliminates the need for wire twisting.
- One-Piece Construction: Burr-free design for maximum electrical conductivity; electrical bright-tin plating for corrosion resistance; annealing to relieve stress points and ensure maximum installed strength.
- Barrel-to-Pad Transition: Minimizes flexing and bending.
- Open-End Design: Allows visual inspection of wire location before and after crimping.
- Wire Retention: Multiple "V" grooves in #264 AWG parts provide excellent holding power.
- Insulation Quality: Injection-molded, 221F (105C) rated, tough, resistant electrical grade materials for consistent reliability.
- Crimp Ridge: Ensures positive tool location on the terminal barrel, reducing miscrimps.
- Non-Slip Ridge: Aids in tool positioning for proper crimping and better workmanship.
- Beveled Leading Edge: Facilitates easy wire insulation entry.
Temperature Ratings:
- Non-insulated 3M terminals withstand temperatures up to 347F (175C).
- Insulated 3M terminals withstand temperatures up to 221F (105C).
- Vinyl and Nylon insulated terminals are rated for continuous operation from -40F to 221F (-40C to 105C).
- High Temperature Terminals and Connectors are rated for continuous use at 900F (482C).
