3M 7000133680 Vinyl Insulated Ring Terminal Awg 22-18

Product Description

The 3M 7000133680 is a vinyl insulated ring terminal designed for secure, vibration-resistant wire terminations in electrical panel, control wiring, and low-voltage applications. It accepts AWG 22-18 wire and fits a number 10 stud size. The ring tongue style locks around the mounting fastener, meaning the terminal stays in place unless the screw is fully removed. This design eliminates accidental disconnection during normal operation or vibration. Licensed electricians, HVAC technicians, and panel installers use these terminals when a permanent, reliable crimp connection is required on control circuits or field wiring.

These terminals are suited for residential and light commercial electrical work where AWG 22-18 conductors are common, including thermostat wiring, control board connections, motor leads, and low-voltage circuit terminations. Sold in packs, they are appropriate for service vans and job-site stock where multiple connections are made per visit. The vinyl insulation sleeve provides basic protection against abrasion and incidental contact with adjacent conductors.

Key Features

• Ring tongue style prevents removal unless mounting screw is fully extracted
• Accepts AWG 22-18 wire range for versatile control-circuit use
• Fits number 10 stud size, common in electrical panels and control boards
• Vinyl insulation sleeve resists abrasion and incidental conductor contact
• Sold in packs of 10 bags for job-site or van-stock replenishment

Compatibility

Designed for use with AWG 22-18 copper conductors terminated to number 10 studs in residential and light commercial electrical and low-voltage control applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician or licensed HVAC technician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. De-energize the circuit before stripping wire and installing the terminal. Use a calibrated ratcheting crimping tool sized for AWG 22-18 terminals to achieve a proper mechanical crimp. Do not solder over a crimped ring terminal, as this can create a stress point and degrade the connection over time.
