3M 7010349239 Ring Terminal 16-14 Awg Crimp 1/4 Inch

Product Description

The 3M 7010349239 is a partially insulated circular ring terminal designed for crimp connections on copper conductors. It accepts 16 to 14 AWG wire and terminates onto a 1/4-inch stud. The nylon insulation sleeve partially covers the barrel, providing basic protection at the wire entry point while leaving the ring exposed for direct contact. Electricians and low-voltage technicians use these terminals when making permanent, vibration-resistant wire-to-stud connections in panels, control enclosures, and equipment wiring. Each terminal is copper-contact construction and color-coded blue for quick gauge identification during installation.

This ring terminal is suited for residential and light commercial electrical applications, including control panel wiring, equipment grounding, and field device terminations. The 1/4-inch stud size fits standard fasteners common in electrical enclosures, terminal blocks, and bus bar assemblies. The crimp connection method produces a reliable, gas-tight joint without soldering. Sold in packages of 100, these terminals are a practical stock item for service trucks and shop inventory where 16 to 14 AWG terminations are routine.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with NEC requirements. De-energize all circuits before terminating or disturbing any wiring. Use a calibrated ratcheting crimp tool rated for insulated terminals to achieve a proper crimp — do not use pliers or uncalibrated tools, as an improper crimp can result in high-resistance connections or terminal pullout. Inspect each crimped terminal for secure wire retention before reassembling the enclosure.
