3M 7010319489 Ring Terminal 22-18 Awg 1/4 in Crimp 100pk

Product Description

The 3M 7010319489 is a partially insulated circular ring terminal designed for crimp-style wire terminations in electrical and low-voltage wiring applications. It accepts 22 to 18 AWG copper wire and terminates onto a 1/4-inch stud. The nylon insulation sleeve is red, indicating its wire gauge range per standard color coding. The copper contact provides reliable conductivity, and the crimp connection method delivers a secure, vibration-resistant termination without solder. This terminal is sold in a package of 100 and is appropriate for licensed electricians, panel technicians, and control wiring professionals working on residential, commercial, or light industrial installations.

This ring terminal is suited for use in control panels, junction boxes, equipment grounding circuits, and low-voltage wiring runs where a secure stud-mounted termination is required. The 1/4-inch stud size fits common terminal blocks, bus bars, and equipment ground lugs. The 22 to 18 AWG wire range covers typical control wiring, sensor leads, and instrumentation circuits. Its compact ring profile allows flush seating under screw heads and hex nuts without deformation under standard torque.

Key Features

• Partially insulated nylon sleeve — protects the barrel while leaving the ring exposed for stud contact
• Crimp connection — no solder required, suitable for ratchet or hex crimp tools
• 22 to 18 AWG wire range — covers standard control and instrumentation wiring
• 1/4-inch stud size — compatible with common terminal blocks, bus bars, and ground lugs
• Copper contact material — provides stable electrical conductivity
• Red color coding — standard industry identification for 22 to 18 AWG terminals
• CSA Certified and UL Listed — meets North American safety standards for electrical terminations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style crimp ring terminal for use with 22 to 18 AWG copper conductors and 1/4-inch mounting studs in standard electrical termination applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician or control wiring technician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. De-energize all circuits before terminating or repositioning ring terminals. Use a calibrated ratchet or hex crimp tool sized for 22 to 18 AWG non-insulated or nylon-insulated terminals to ensure a complete, gas-tight crimp. Do not re-crimp a terminal that has already been set — replace with a new terminal if the connection is suspect.
