3M 7010349244 Ring Terminal 12-10 Awg Crimp 5/16 Stud 50pk

Product Description

The 3M 7010349244 is a partially insulated circular ring terminal designed for crimp-style wire terminations on 12 to 10 AWG copper conductors. The terminal body is copper with a yellow vinyl insulation sleeve covering the barrel, leaving the ring exposed for stud contact. At 1.26 inches long and 0.54 inches wide, it fits a 5/16-inch stud and delivers a low-resistance mechanical connection when properly crimped. Electricians and low-voltage technicians use these terminals for panel wiring, control circuits, and equipment grounding connections where a secure, inspectable ring lug is required.

This terminal is suited for residential and light commercial electrical work, including control panel assembly, motor terminations, and field wiring applications. It is commonly installed in junction boxes, control enclosures, and equipment cabinets where 12 or 10 AWG wire must be landed on a threaded stud or screw terminal. The yellow color coding identifies the 12 to 10 AWG wire range at a glance, which speeds up installation and inspection on multi-conductor runs.

Key Features

• Partially insulated vinyl barrel covers the crimp zone while leaving the ring open for stud contact
• Accepts 12 to 10 AWG wire, color-coded yellow for fast gauge identification
• Copper contact material provides reliable conductivity and corrosion resistance
• 5/16-inch stud size fits common panel and equipment terminal posts
• Crimp connection type for fast, tool-based termination without soldering
• CSA Certified, UL Listed, and RoHS 2011 EU Compliant

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style ring terminal for crimp applications on 12 to 10 AWG conductors terminated to 5/16-inch threaded studs in standard electrical enclosures and control panels.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the NEC. De-energize the circuit completely before terminating or removing any ring terminal. Use a ratcheting crimp tool rated for insulated terminals in the 12 to 10 AWG range to achieve a proper crimp; do not use pliers as a substitute. Inspect the crimped barrel for deformation or insulation cracking before reconnecting power.
