3M Scotchlok Terminal Numbering System Overview

The 3M Terminal Numbering System is structured to identify key product characteristics:

  • 3M Identity Code/Barrel Style: Indicates material and barrel construction (e.g., N=Nylon, V=Vinyl, U=Butted, Brazed).
  • Wire Size Code (AWG): Specifies the compatible wire gauge range (e.g., 18=22-18 AWG, 14=16-14 AWG, 10=12-10 AWG).
  • Stud, Tab, or Bullet Size: Denotes the size of the terminal's connection point (e.g., 4=4 Stud, 14=1/4" Stud, 110=0.110" Tab).
  • Tongue Code: Identifies the terminal type (e.g., R=Ring, F=Fork, BC=Butt Connector, D=Disconnect).
  • Product Availability Suffix: Indicates packaging (X=Bottle, K=Bulk, Q=Bag).

3M Highland Terminals Overview

3M Highland terminals are designed for general applications in electrical system assembly and maintenance. They offer reliable performance and are available in low-quantity, reclosable bags, making them ideal for smaller jobs. These terminals are typically vinyl or nylon insulated with a butted seam barrel.
