? Frequently Asked Questions
What does the insulation grip do?
The insulation grip provides a “second” crimp on the wire
insulation. It provides additional wire strain relief. It’s
excellent for high-vibration applications.
Which 3M tools can I use with
3M terminals?
The handy reference guide on page 81 gives you
a variety of choices of tools to use with 3M terminals.
What’s the difference between insulated
and fully-insulated disconnects?
What temperatures do 3M terminals
withstand?
Insulated disconnects have barrel insulation only, and fully-
insulated disconnects are insulated from the barrel to the
receptacle/tab.
Non-insulated 3M terminals withstand temperatures up to
347°F (175°C). Insulated 3M terminals withstand
temperatures up to 221°F (105°C).
