3M™ Scotchlok™ Locking Fork is a lug connection terminal that allows rapid connection of wire and are usually used on free-standing studs, because of the wider tongues. The spring-like tongue locks into place around the stud. Even when the mount screw is not tightened, extra force is required to remove it from the stud. The brazed-seam barrel is covered by an adhesive-lined polyolefin tubing to offer moisture-seal protection, and can withstand temperatures of -40 to 221 degrees Fahrenheit (-40 to 105 degrees Celsius). Electrolytic copper construction offers good conductivity and a tin-plated finish resists corrosion.
3M™ Scotchlok™ Heat Shrink Pre-Insulated Electrical Terminals help protect against challenging environments with quality moisture protection. The adhesive-lined heat shrink material, when properly crimped and shrunk, provides a seal resistant to water, salt, steam and other related contaminants. The adhesive-lined heat shrink tubing adheres, when shrunk, to both the connector and the wire insulation helping to provide improved pullout strength and strain relief. The tough heat shrink tubing helps to resist abrasions, scoring, cut-through and helps to prevent the effects of long-term aging. The connectors are colour coded for wire range identification and the transparent tubing allows for visual inspection.
