  • Product typeElectrical Connectors
  • Designed for 14 AWG wire with #8 stud fit
  • Vinyl insulation rated to 221 °F for heat resistance

  • CSA certified and UL listed for code-compliant installations
  • Compatible with TH-440, TH-450 and TR-490 crimp tools

Wire Cap Connector for 14 AWG #8 Stud

This 3M fork terminal accepts 14 AWG wire and fits a #8 stud for secure crimp connections. Vinyl insulation in blue provides visual identification and dielectric protection up to 600 V. The butted seam and funnel barrel support reliable termination with compatible crimp tools. It is UL Listed and CSA Certified for electrical installations.

Thermal and Electrical Ratings in Normal Use

The connector carries a maximum operating temperature of 221 degrees F and a maximum voltage rating of 1,000 V. Copper contact material maintains low resistance under continuous load. Vinyl insulation resists heat and abrasion during routine operation. No active cooling or power draw applies to this passive component.

Build Integration and Compatibility

The 0.25 in barrel length fits standard crimp tooling such as models TH-440, TH-450 and TR-490. Blue colour coding simplifies circuit identification in panels or harnesses. The fork design allows quick removal without fully backing out the mounting screw. Buyers needing a ring terminal or a larger wire gauge should select a different part.

Questions about this item

How do I crimp this fork terminal onto 14 AWG wire and what step is often missed?

Strip the wire, insert it fully into the 0.25 in funnel barrel, then crimp with a compatible tool such as the TH-440, TH-450 or TR-490; the step often missed is verifying the wire reaches the barrel end before crimping.

What maintenance or replacement will this vinyl-insulated terminal need over time?

Inspect the blue vinyl insulation for cracking or heat damage above 221 °F; replace the terminal if the insulation is degraded or the copper contact shows corrosion.

What is the first limit reached under sustained electrical load?

The 600 V voltage rating is the primary limit; continuous operation must stay at or below this value to avoid insulation breakdown.
