Overview

The Panduit PNF14-8F-3K is a nylon-insulated fork terminal designed for reliable electrical connections in industrial applications. This terminal accommodates wire sizes from 16 to 14 AWG and features a #8 stud size for secure mounting. Manufactured by Panduit, it is part of the PNF series, known for its consistent performance and adherence to industry standards. Key features include a funnel entry barrel for simplified wire insertion, reducing installation time and ensuring proper conductor capture. This design minimizes the risk of improperly seated wires, leading to a more secure termination. The terminal also incorporates a metal insulation grip sleeve that provides strain relief by securely gripping the wire's insulation. This critical component protects the crimp joint from damage during high vibration applications, maintaining connection integrity. Constructed from durable nylon and metal, the PNF14-8F-3K is built for demanding environments. It has a maximum operating temperature of 221°F (105°C) and is rated for a maximum voltage of 600V per UL 486A/B. The internal barrel serrations ensure good wire contact and maximum tensile strength. The standard package quantity is 3000 units.
