3M 7000132248 Ring Tongue Terminal 16-14 Awg 1/4 Inch Stud

Product Description

The 3M 7000132248 is a ring tongue terminal designed for secure, permanent electrical connections in wiring applications. It accepts 16 to 14 AWG wire and fits a 1/4 inch stud size. The ring-style tongue is the standard for enclosed fastening — once the mounting screw or bolt is in place, the terminal cannot be pulled free without removing the hardware. This makes it the appropriate choice when connection integrity is critical and accidental disconnection is not acceptable. Electricians and electrical assembly technicians install this terminal in control panels, equipment wiring, and field wiring applications where a locked, low-resistance termination is required.

This terminal is suited for residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical work. It is commonly used when terminating stranded or solid copper conductors to bus bars, equipment chassis, or terminal blocks that accept a 1/4 inch fastener. The 16-14 AWG range covers the wire gauges most commonly encountered in control circuit and power distribution wiring at this connection class.

Key Features

• Ring-style tongue provides a fully enclosed fastener seat — terminal cannot be dislodged without removing the mounting screw
• Wire range of 16-14 AWG accommodates common control and power circuit conductors
• 1/4 inch stud size fits standard bolts and screws used in panel and equipment terminations
• Sold in quantities of 1000 per case, suited for production or high-volume service work

Compatibility

Designed as a standard ring tongue terminal for use with 1/4 inch studs and 16-14 AWG wire, suitable for general electrical termination applications in panel boards, control circuits, and equipment wiring.

Installation Notes

Ring tongue terminals are installed by licensed electricians or qualified electrical technicians. De-energize all circuits and verify zero voltage with a meter before beginning any termination work. Use a calibrated crimping tool rated for the wire gauge and terminal type to ensure a gas-tight, mechanically sound crimp. NEC requirements for terminal selection and conductor sizing should be consulted for the specific application.
