3M 7010349266 Ring Terminal 16-14 Awg 3/8 in Crimp 25 Pack

Product Description

The 3M 7010349266 is a partially insulated circular ring terminal designed for crimp-style wire termination in electrical wiring applications. It accepts 16 to 14 AWG copper conductors and features a heat shrink insulation sleeve in blue, making it easy to identify during installation and inspection. The 3/8-inch stud size fits standard bolt terminals on buss bars, equipment grounding lugs, and panel connections. Copper contact material ensures reliable conductivity. This terminal is sold in packs of 25 and is appropriate for use by licensed electricians and HVAC technicians performing control wiring, equipment grounding, and low-voltage circuit terminations.

This ring terminal is suited for residential and light commercial electrical installations where a secure, vibration-resistant crimp connection is required. Typical applications include HVAC control panel wiring, motor equipment grounding, junction box terminations, and general-purpose low-voltage wiring. The blue color coding corresponds to the 16 to 14 AWG wire range, allowing technicians to quickly select the correct terminal size during assembly. The partially insulated design provides coverage over the barrel while leaving the ring exposed for direct contact with the stud or lug.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style crimp ring terminal for use with 16 to 14 AWG copper conductors and 3/8-inch stud termination points in standard electrical panel, equipment, and control wiring applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician or trained technician in accordance with the NEC and applicable local codes. De-energize the circuit completely before terminating or disturbing any wiring. Use a ratcheting crimp tool rated for insulated terminals to achieve a proper crimp — do not use pliers or non-rated tools, as an improper crimp can result in a high-resistance connection or pull-out failure. Verify stud torque requirements per the equipment manufacturer's specifications before tightening the ring onto the lug or bolt.
