3M 7010304072 Ring Terminal 12-10 Awg Crimp No. 10 Stud 50 Pack

Product Description

The 3M 7010304072 is a partially insulated circular ring terminal designed for crimp-style wire termination on No. 10 studs. It accepts 12 to 10 AWG copper conductors and uses a copper contact barrel with a nylon insulation sleeve that partially covers the barrel to protect the termination point while keeping the ring lug accessible for bolt-down connections. This terminal is suited for electrical panel work, control wiring, and equipment grounding applications where a secure, code-compliant ring connection is required. Electricians and control wiring technicians install these terminals using a ratcheting crimp tool sized for the appropriate AWG range.

This ring terminal is used in residential and commercial electrical installations, HVAC control panels, motor disconnect wiring, and general low-voltage wiring applications where conductors must be terminated to a threaded stud or screw. The yellow color coding indicates compatibility with 12 to 10 AWG wire per standard terminal color conventions. Each package contains 50 terminals, making it practical for panel builds, service calls, or production wiring tasks that require consistent, high-volume terminations.

Key Features

• Partially insulated nylon sleeve protects the crimp zone while leaving the ring lug open for stud fastening
• Copper contact barrel provides reliable conductivity for 12 to 10 AWG conductors
• Crimp connection type for fast, tool-based termination without soldering
• No. 10 stud size fits common screw terminals, grounding lugs, and equipment terminals
• Yellow color coding identifies 12 to 10 AWG wire range at a glance
• UL Listed and CSA Certified with RoHS 2011 EU compliance for use in code-required installations

Compatibility

Designed for crimp termination of 12 to 10 AWG copper conductors to No. 10 threaded studs in standard electrical and control wiring applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with NEC requirements for terminal connections. De-energize and lock out the circuit before terminating or removing any ring terminal. Use a calibrated ratcheting crimp tool rated for the 12 to 10 AWG range to achieve a proper crimp — never use pliers as a substitute. Inspect the completed crimp for full barrel compression and verify the ring lug seats flush against the stud before torquing the fastener.
