3M 7000132254 Ring Tongue Terminal 16-14 Awg Stud 10

Product Description

The 3M 7000132254 is a high-temperature ring tongue terminal designed for secure, permanent electrical connections in demanding environments. The ring-style tongue locks around the mounting stud and cannot be released without removing the fastener, making it one of the most mechanically stable termination styles available. It accommodates 16-14 AWG wire and fits a size 10 stud. The butted-seam barrel construction provides consistent crimping geometry across the wire range. Licensed electricians and maintenance technicians install these terminals wherever vibration, heat, or mechanical stress could compromise a standard open-barrel or spade connector.

This terminal is suited for panel wiring, equipment grounding, motor connections, and control-circuit terminations in residential, commercial, and light industrial applications. The high-temperature rating makes it appropriate for installations near heat sources such as furnace controls, motor junction boxes, and engine compartment wiring. Minimum order quantity is 1000 units per case, making this terminal a standard stocking item for electrical contractors and panel fabricators.

Key Features

• Ring-tongue style locks around stud — connector cannot back off without removing the fastener
• High-temperature rated construction for heat-intensive installation environments
• Butted-seam barrel for consistent, reliable crimp performance across 16-14 AWG range
• Fits size 10 mounting stud — common in panel and equipment wiring
• Sold in 1000-unit case quantities for contractor and production use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style ring tongue terminal for 16-14 AWG conductors terminated to size 10 studs in standard electrical panel, equipment, and control-circuit applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed electricians in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. De-energize the circuit completely before crimping and terminating. Use a calibrated ratcheting crimp tool sized for the 16-14 AWG wire range to ensure a gas-tight crimp on the butted-seam barrel. Do not solder after crimping on terminals not rated for combined crimp-and-solder use, and confirm stud torque meets the equipment manufacturer's fastener specification.
