3M 7000133281 Ring Terminal 16-14 Awg Crimp No. 6 Stud 100 Pack

Product Description

The 3M 7000133281 is a partially insulated circular ring terminal designed for reliable crimp connections on 16 to 14 AWG copper conductors. The copper contact provides solid electrical conductivity, while the blue nylon insulation sleeve offers partial protection at the barrel end. These terminals are used when a secure, permanent ring-style termination is needed at a No. 6 stud or screw. Electricians and electronics technicians reach for this style of terminal when terminating control wiring, panel wiring, or low-voltage circuits where a bolt-down connection point is required. Sold in a 100-piece package, they suit both service work and production environments.

These ring terminals are suited for residential and light commercial electrical work, control panel assembly, HVAC low-voltage wiring, and similar applications where 16 to 14 AWG wire terminates at a No. 6 screw or stud. The blue color coding aligns with the industry-standard color system for the 16 to 14 AWG wire range, making polarity and circuit identification faster on the bench or in the field. The crimp connection style requires no soldering and delivers a gas-tight termination when installed with the correct ratcheting crimp tool for the wire gauge range.

Key Features

• Partially insulated nylon barrel protects the crimp zone while leaving the ring tongue exposed for stud termination
• Copper contact material ensures low-resistance electrical connection
• Crimp connection eliminates soldering and delivers consistent, repeatable terminations
• Blue color coding identifies 16 to 14 AWG wire range at a glance
• No. 6 stud size fits common terminal blocks, control boards, and equipment lugs
• 100-piece pack quantity reduces restocking frequency for high-volume installs

Compatibility

Designed for use with 16 to 14 AWG conductors terminating at No. 6 studs or screws in standard crimp-terminal applications across electrical, HVAC control, and light industrial wiring.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician or trained technician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. De-energize all circuits before terminating or disturbing any wiring. Use a ratcheting crimp tool rated for 16 to 14 AWG insulated terminals to achieve a proper gas-tight crimp. Do not use pliers or non-ratcheting tools as a substitute, as incomplete crimps can result in high-resistance connections or pull-out failure.
