Its excellent for high vibration applications. Which 3M tools can I use with 3M terminals The handy reference guide on pages 143-144 gives you a variety of choices of tools to use with 3M terminals. Whats the difference between insulated and fully Insulated disconnects have barrel insulation only and fully insulated disconnects are insulated disconnects insulated from the barrel to the receptacle/tab. What temperatures do 3M terminals withstand Non-insulated 3M terminals withstand temperatures up to 347F (175C). Insulated 3M terminals withstand temperatures up to 221F (105C). Glossary of Terminals and Tools Terms AdApters l ocking Fork To interconnect two connectors already attached to wires. The spring-like tongue locks in place around the stud even when mount screw is not tightened. Extra force is required to Block Fork remove from stud. Same strength as the fork, but designed to use in terminal block because sides lie flat against barrier portion of terminal pAr Allel block. Similar to butt with overlapped wires and single crimp in center Bullet style of connector. Used where space is limited. Similar advantages as disconnects. Gives reliable in-line pins connection because parts are made to have holding friction For installation in compression blocks. Used in Europe for when joined. Usually for automotive use. terminating stranded wire. Butt Quick c onnect ( disconnect) Uses chamfered barrel ends to provide fast, easy wire insertion Attached to mating part by tongue of female part slipping from both ends and a built-in wire stop for correct positioning. over male tab. Use of dents and rolled edges on female part Must be crimped at both ends. provides excellent holding force while allowing easy and quick closed- end disconnect. Used in situations requiring pigtail of two or more wires. ring Fl Anged Fork The standard style of tongue. The safest and most reliable. It Gives the benefit of both the block and locking forks. Stays cannot be removed unless mounting screw is removed. secure should screw loosen. tAB Fork Uses mounting hole for rivet or screw. Allows rapid connection of wire. Usually used on free-standing tA p studs, because of wider tongues. No wire stripping is necessary, just lay wire in connector and crimp. Connection is made. 48 PHonE 800-245-3573
