3M 7000133679 Vinyl Insulated Ring Terminal Awg 16-14

Product Description

The 3M 7000133679 is a vinyl insulated ring terminal designed for secure, permanent wire-to-stud connections in electrical wiring applications. Rated for 16-14 AWG wire, the ring-style tongue seats fully around a size 8 stud, requiring stud removal before the terminal can be detached. This design locks the connection in place, reducing the risk of accidental disconnection in vibration-prone or high-cycle environments. The vinyl insulation provides a protective sleeve over the barrel, helping guard against abrasion and incidental contact. Electricians and wiring technicians install these terminals using a standard ratcheting crimper appropriate for insulated terminals in the 16-14 AWG range.

These ring terminals are suited for low-voltage control wiring, panel wiring, fixture connections, and general equipment wiring where a captive, vibration-resistant termination is required. They are commonly used in residential and light commercial electrical work, HVAC control circuits, and equipment panel assemblies where reliability at the termination point is a priority. Sold in packs of 10 bags per case.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-style insulated ring terminal for use with 16-14 AWG conductors and size 8 mounting studs across residential and light commercial electrical and HVAC control wiring applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed electrician or qualified technician. De-energize the circuit and verify with a meter before terminating any conductors. Use a calibrated ratcheting crimper rated for insulated terminals in the 16-14 AWG range to ensure a secure, gas-tight crimp. Follow applicable NEC guidelines for wire gauge, terminal sizing, and conductor preparation.
