3M 7000132262 Ring Tongue Terminal 12-10 Awg Stud 10

Product Description

The 3M 7000132262 is a ring tongue electrical terminal designed for secure, permanent wire terminations in residential, commercial, and light industrial wiring applications. It accepts wire in the 12-10 AWG range and fits a number 10 stud size. The ring-style tongue fully encircles the mounting stud, which means the terminal stays captured even under vibration and cannot be dislodged unless the fastener is completely removed. This design makes it a reliable choice for control panel wiring, equipment grounding connections, and similar fixed installations. Electricians and maintenance technicians use this terminal where a stable, low-resistance connection is required.

This terminal is suited for use in panel boards, junction boxes, motor controls, and general electrical assemblies where a number 10 screw or bolt serves as the termination point. The 12-10 AWG wire range covers common branch-circuit and control-circuit conductors. The terminal ships in a case of 500, which supports production environments, electrical contractors stocking consumables, and service shops maintaining inventory for repeat work.

Key Features

• Ring-style tongue fully encircles stud, preventing accidental disconnection without fastener removal
• Wire range of 12-10 AWG accommodates standard branch-circuit and control conductors
• Fits number 10 stud size for compatibility with common panel and equipment hardware
• Sold in cases of 500 for high-volume or contractor-stocking use

Compatibility

Designed for use with 12-10 AWG wire and number 10 mounting studs or screws in standard electrical termination applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. De-energize and lock out the circuit before terminating or removing any wire connection. Strip wire to the manufacturer-recommended length, insert fully into the terminal barrel, and crimp with an appropriately rated crimping tool before securing to the stud. Do not over-torque the mounting fastener, as this can distort the ring tongue and compromise contact integrity.
