What’s the difference between insulated and fully-insulated disconnects 6 Kits 79 Tools 81 What temperatures do 3M terminals withstand? The insulation grip provides a “second” crimp on the wire insulation. It provides additional wire strain relief. It’s excellent for high-vibration applications. The handy reference guide on page 81 gives you a variety of choices of tools to use with 3M terminals. Insulated disconnects have barrel insulation only, and fullyinsulated 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).
