3M LFV18-6Q Vinyl Locking Fork Terminals

These 3M terminals provide a secure crimp connection for 22 to 18 AWG wire. The vinyl insulation is rated for up to 1,000 V and 221 Degrees F. A locking fork design fits a #6 stud and prevents accidental disconnection. The pack contains 25 pieces for multiple wiring tasks.

Suited for automotive and general low-voltage wiring

Installers who need a vibration-resistant fork terminal for a #6 stud will find these match the requirement. The butted seam and tin-plated copper construction support reliable conductivity. Buyers needing a ring terminal, a larger stud size, or a higher wire gauge should look at alternative connector types.

Handles 22 to 18 AWG wire at 1,000 V

The 0.25 in tongue width and 0.9 in overall length fit standard #6 studs in tight spaces. The vinyl insulation and CSA certified, UL listed ratings give headroom for typical automotive circuits. The 25 pack covers several connection points but runs out on larger harness jobs requiring higher quantities.

Questions about this item

What wire gauges does the 22-18 AWG locking fork terminal accept?

The terminal accepts solid or stranded wire from 22 to 18 AWG, matching the red vinyl insulation colour code for that range.

Will the #6 stud fork terminal fit on the same #6 screws used by older ring terminals?

Yes, the #6 stud size is identical, so the locking fork slides onto existing #6 screws without changing hardware.

How can I confirm the crimp is secure after installing the terminal?

Perform a pull test on the crimped joint; the butted seam and tin-plated copper barrel should hold the wire firmly within the 0.9 in overall length.
