3M 7000132266 Ring Tongue Terminal 12-10 Awg

Product Description

The 3M 7000132266 is a high temperature ring tongue terminal designed for secure, permanent electrical connections in demanding environments. Built with a butted seam construction, this terminal accommodates 12-10 AWG wire and fits a size 10 stud. The ring tongue style provides a closed-loop connection that remains fixed unless the mounting screw is removed, making it one of the most mechanically stable termination options available. Licensed electricians and electrical assemblers install these terminals in applications where heat resistance and connection integrity are critical.

This terminal is suited for residential, commercial, and industrial electrical work where high temperature conditions are a factor. The ring tongue design is a widely accepted standard in control panels, motor connections, and wiring harness assemblies. It is sold individually and also available in case quantities of 1000 units, making it practical for production and service environments that require consistent, code-compliant terminations.

Key Features

• High temperature rated construction handles elevated heat environments
• Butted seam barrel design for consistent crimping across 12-10 AWG conductors
• Ring tongue style locks connection in place until mounting hardware is removed
• Stud size 10 compatibility suits common terminal block and lug applications
• Available in case quantities of 1000 for production and bulk service use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit ring tongue terminal for 12-10 AWG wire applications using size 10 stud fasteners.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed electricians or qualified technicians following NEC guidelines. De-energize the circuit and verify zero voltage before terminating any conductor. Use a calibrated ratcheting crimp tool rated for the wire gauge and terminal type to ensure a gas-tight crimp. Inspect the crimped barrel for deformation or wire pullout before re-energizing the circuit.
