3M 7000132272 Ring Tongue Terminal 8 Awg 1/4 Inch Stud

Product Description

The 3M 7000132272 is a non-insulated ring tongue terminal designed for secure, permanent electrical connections in industrial and trade wiring applications. Built with a brazed seam construction, this terminal accepts 8 AWG wire and fits a 1/4 inch mounting stud. The ring tongue style fully encircles the stud, holding the connection in place even under vibration or mechanical stress. It cannot be disconnected unless the mounting fastener is removed, making it the preferred choice where connection integrity is critical. Licensed electricians and experienced electrical technicians are the primary installers of this terminal type.

This terminal is suited for panel wiring, equipment grounding, motor connections, and general electrical termination tasks where a non-insulated, low-profile lug is required. The brazed seam barrel provides consistent crimp performance across the 8 AWG wire range. Sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 200 units, this terminal is well suited for contractors and shops that stock consumable termination hardware in volume.

Key Features

• Ring tongue style fully encircles the stud — connection cannot release unless the mounting screw is removed
• Brazed seam barrel construction for consistent, reliable crimps on 8 AWG wire
• Non-insulated design for use where separate sleeving or heat shrink will be applied, or where insulation is not required
• Fits 1/4 inch stud size for compatibility with standard panel and equipment hardware
• Minimum order quantity of 200 units — suited for shop stock and contractor supply

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style ring tongue terminal for use with 8 AWG wire on 1/4 inch mounting studs in standard electrical termination applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. De-energize the circuit and verify absence of voltage before terminating any conductors. Use a calibrated ratcheting crimp tool appropriate for non-insulated terminals at the 8 AWG wire size. Do not apply heat or solder to the barrel after crimping unless the terminal and wire gauge are rated for that process.
