3M 7010349246 Ring Terminal 8 Awg Crimp 1/2 Inch Stud 25 Pack

Product Description

The 3M 7010349246 is a partially insulated circular ring terminal designed for secure, permanent wire terminations in electrical wiring applications. It accepts 8 AWG copper wire via a crimp connection and features a copper contact for reliable conductivity. The nylon insulation sleeve is partially applied, leaving the ring barrel exposed for inspection after crimping. The 1/2 inch stud hole fits standard fastener sizes. This terminal is installed by licensed electricians and qualified electrical technicians working on panel wiring, equipment grounding, and power distribution assemblies.

This ring terminal is suited for residential and commercial electrical installations where a robust, code-compliant wire-to-stud connection is required. Common applications include control panel wiring, battery connections, grounding circuits, and equipment terminations. The red color coding identifies it as compatible with 8 AWG wire, consistent with standard industry color conventions for terminal identification. Sold in a package quantity of 25 terminals.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC requirements. De-energize and lock out the circuit before terminating any wires. Use a calibrated ratcheting crimp tool rated for 8 AWG terminals to achieve a proper mechanical and electrical crimp. Do not solder over a crimped terminal, as this can create a stress point and compromise the connection integrity.
