3M 7010349238 Ring Terminal 22-18 Awg Crimp No 8 Stud 100pk

Product Description

The 3M 7010349238 is a partially insulated circular ring terminal designed for crimp connections on 22 to 18 AWG copper wire. The copper contact provides reliable conductivity, while the red nylon insulation sleeve offers partial strain relief and easy visual identification during termination work. Rated for No. 8 stud size, this terminal is a standard component in control panel wiring, low-voltage equipment hookups, and general electrical assembly. It ships in a 100-piece package, making it well suited for service vans, shop stock, and production line use. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and panel builders reach for this terminal when securing wire ends to screw terminals and binding posts.

This ring terminal is used across residential and light commercial applications wherever a secure, vibration-resistant wire-to-stud connection is required. Typical install scenarios include control board wiring in HVAC equipment, electrical panel sub-assemblies, appliance wiring, and low-voltage circuit terminations. The No. 8 stud size fits a wide range of screw terminals found on contactors, relays, and terminal blocks. The red color coding aligns with the 22 to 18 AWG range under standard wire terminal color conventions, helping technicians quickly identify the correct terminal size during high-volume wiring jobs.

Key Features

• Partially insulated nylon sleeve provides strain relief and AWG range color coding
• Copper contact ensures solid conductivity at the crimp joint
• Crimp connection type eliminates solder and supports fast, consistent termination
• No. 8 stud size fits common screw terminals on relays, contactors, and terminal blocks
• Red color coding corresponds to 22 to 18 AWG wire range for quick field identification
• 100-piece package supports bulk stocking for service and production use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard crimp ring terminal for use with 22 to 18 AWG wire on No. 8 stud fasteners in low-voltage and general electrical wiring applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed electrician or qualified technician using a ratcheting or calibrated crimp tool appropriate for 22 to 18 AWG terminals. De-energize all circuits and follow NEC guidelines before terminating any wiring. Strip wire to the correct length to achieve full barrel engagement before crimping. Do not re-crimp a terminal that has already been fully set, as this can damage the barrel and degrade the connection.
