3M 7000133681 Vinyl Insulated Ring Terminal Awg 22-18

Product Description

The 3M 7000133681 is a vinyl-insulated ring terminal designed for secure, reliable wire terminations in electrical wiring applications. Part of the 3M Highland series, this crimp-style ring terminal accepts wire gauges in the AWG 22-18 range and fits a number 8 stud size. The vinyl insulation sleeve protects the connection point from abrasion and incidental contact. The ring tongue style is the standard choice among electricians and tradespeople because it cannot be dislodged unless the mounting screw is fully removed, making it one of the most mechanically secure termination options available in the field.

This terminal is suited for residential and light commercial electrical work, panel wiring, control circuit connections, and equipment hookups where a permanent, vibration-resistant termination is required. The AWG 22-18 wire range makes it appropriate for low-voltage control wiring and signal circuits commonly found in HVAC systems, appliance wiring, and general electrical installations. It is sold in packs of 10 bags, making it practical for stocking a service vehicle or shop inventory.

Key Features

• Ring tongue style provides a locked connection that stays in place unless the mounting screw is removed
• Accepts AWG 22-18 wire range for low-voltage and control circuit applications
• Fits number 8 stud size for common panel and equipment termination points
• Vinyl insulation sleeve protects the crimp joint from abrasion and contact
• Sold in a case quantity of 10 bags for convenient shop or truck stock

Compatibility

Designed as a standard crimp-style ring terminal for use with AWG 22-18 copper wire on number 8 stud fasteners in residential and light commercial electrical wiring applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed electricians or qualified tradespeople. De-energize the circuit completely before making any terminations and verify with a meter before handling conductors. Use a calibrated wire crimping tool sized for the AWG 22-18 range to ensure a gas-tight crimp; do not use pliers as a substitute. Secure the ring terminal to the stud with the appropriate fastener torqued to the equipment specification, and verify the connection is snug before re-energizing.
