3M 7010304073 Ring Terminal 8 Awg Crimp 1/4 in Stud Red 25 Pack

Product Description

The 3M 7010304073 is a partially insulated circular ring terminal designed for crimp-style wire termination in electrical and control wiring applications. Built with a copper contact and a nylon insulation sleeve, this terminal accepts 8 AWG wire and accommodates a 1/4-inch stud. The red color coding identifies the 8 AWG wire range at a glance, reducing mis-termination during installation. It is rated UL Listed and CSA Certified, making it appropriate for use in commercial and industrial panel wiring, control circuits, and general electrical assemblies where code-compliant terminations are required.

This ring terminal is suited for residential and commercial electrical work, HVAC control wiring, motor connections, and panel board terminations where a secure, low-profile lug is needed. The crimp connection method produces a reliable mechanical and electrical bond without soldering. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and panel builders typically use this terminal when landing 8 AWG conductors on equipment studs, ground bars, or bus connections. Each package contains 25 terminals, making it practical for single-job or small-batch use.

Compatibility

Designed for use with 8 AWG copper conductors and 1/4-inch threaded studs in standard electrical and control wiring applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. Always de-energize the circuit and verify with a meter before terminating wires. Use a calibrated ratcheting crimp tool rated for the terminal barrel size to achieve a proper crimp — do not use pliers or uncalibrated tools. Torque the stud hardware per the equipment manufacturer's specification after seating the ring terminal.
