3M Scotchlok Terminals, Kits, and Tools

For over 30 years, 3M has been a leading supplier of Scotchlok terminals, disconnects, connectors, and tools for high-performance applications in the assembly and maintenance of electrical systems. Known for their effective and reliable performance, 3M products are UL Listed and CSA Certified where appropriate. They offer a variety of types, sizes, and materials to meet a broad application range, including demanding temperature and weather conditions. Design features ensure easy installation with positive and easy wire insertion, elimination of strand hang-ups and wire twisting, and easy insulation entry, all contributing to making the installer's job easier.

• Brand: 3M Scotchlok
• Certifications: UL Listed and CSA Certified (where appropriate)
• Temperature Resistance: Non-insulated terminals up to 347F (175C); Insulated terminals up to 221F (105C)

Key Features and Benefits:

• One-piece, burr-free construction: Provides maximum electrical conductivity.
• Electrical bright-tin plating: Offers maximum corrosion resistance.
• Annealing: Relieves stress points and assures maximum installed strength.
• Barrel-to-pad transition design: Minimizes flexing and bending.
• Open-end design: Permits visual inspection of wire location before and after crimping.
• Multiple V grooves: Provide maximum hold on wire for excellent holding power (on #264 AWG parts).
• Injection molded insulations: High-quality, 221F (105C) rated, tough, resistant electrical grade materials.
• Funnel barrel construction: Ensures positive, easy wire insertion, no strand hang-ups, and eliminates the need for wire twisting.
• Insulation grip (on some models): Features a brass sleeve for optimum grip on insulation, providing strain relief and vibration protection.
• Non-slip ridge: Aids in tool positioning for proper crimping.
• Beveled leading edge: Facilitates easy wire insulation entry.

Terminal Construction Types:

• Non-Insulated Butted Seam: Economical, used where special performance or installation characteristics are not needed.
• Non-Insulated Brazed Seam: Silver brazed seam will not open under crimping pressure; stranded wire cannot escape barrel confines.
• Vinyl Insulated Brazed and Butted Seams: Insulated barrel with flared, rigid molded polyvinyl chloride sleeve.
• Nylon Insulated Butted Seam with Insulation Grip: Features a flared, seamless brass sleeve covered with flared, molded nylon sleeve.

Heat Shrink Terminals, Connectors, and Disconnects:

Offer superior moisture protection and corrosion resistance with adhesive-lined heat shrink material. Provide improved mechanical performance with enhanced pullout strength and strain relief. Durable heat shrink tubing resists abrasion and aging. Available in wire sizes 2210 AWG.

High Temperature Terminals and Connectors:

Constructed of steel with nickel plating. Rated for continuous use at 900F (482C). Ideal for ovens, motors, and light fixtures. No applicable UL or CSA standard for these parts.

Terminal Numbering System Overview:

3M Terminals follow a numbering system indicating 3M Identity Code/Barrel Style, Wire Size Code (AWG), Tongue Code, and Product Availability.

Stud Size Chart:

Provides conversions between US standard inch sizes and metric millimeter sizes for terminal stud diameters.

American Wire Gauge (AWG) Chart:

Lists AWG sizes and their corresponding millimeter equivalents.

Tools:

• TH-440 Scissors: Compact, multi-function tool for 22-10 AWG, includes wire cutter, crimp dies, cut-off dies, and stripping stations.
• TH-450 Scissors: Heavy-duty, versatile tool for 26-6 AWG, includes wire cutter, multiple crimp dies for insulated and non-insulated terminals, cut-off dies, and wire stripping stations.
• TR-482 Ratchet Tool: Crimps barrel and insulation grip simultaneously on 22-10 AWG insulated terminals and connectors. Features color-coded dies and field recalibration.
• TR-490 Ratchet Tool: Crimps barrel and insulation grip independently on 22-10 AWG insulated and non-insulated terminals and connectors. Features color-coded dies for insulated and non-insulated applications, and field recalibration.
