3M 7010397274 Ring Terminal 22-18 Awg Crimp 100 Pack

Product Description

The 3M 7010397274 is a partially insulated circular ring terminal designed for secure crimp connections on copper conductors ranging from 22 to 18 AWG. The vinyl insulation sleeve covers the barrel end for basic protection while leaving the ring exposed for stud termination. This terminal accepts a No. 8 stud and measures 0.93 inches in overall length with a ring width of 0.31 inches. The copper contact material ensures reliable conductivity at the termination point. Electricians and panel technicians use these terminals in control wiring, low-voltage circuits, and branch circuit terminations where a clean, mechanically secure ring lug is required.

This terminal is suited for residential and light commercial electrical applications, including control panel wiring, appliance hookups, and instrumentation connections. The red color coding corresponds to the 22 to 18 AWG wire range, making it easy to identify the correct terminal on the bench. Each package contains 100 terminals, making it a practical quantity for ongoing service work or panel builds. The crimp connection style is compatible with standard hand or ratchet crimping tools sized for 22 to 18 AWG ferrules and ring terminals.

Key Features

• Partially insulated vinyl sleeve for barrel protection on 22 to 18 AWG copper conductors
• No. 8 stud size for compatibility with common machine screws and terminal strips
• Copper contact material for low-resistance, reliable termination
• Red color coding identifies the 22 to 18 AWG wire range at a glance
• CSA Certified and UL Listed for use in code-compliant installations
• RoHS 2011 EU Compliant construction

Compatibility

Designed for crimp termination of 22 to 18 AWG copper wire onto No. 8 studs in standard electrical panels, control enclosures, and low-voltage wiring applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. De-energize the circuit completely before terminating or repositioning ring terminals. Use a calibrated ratchet or hand crimping tool rated for 22 to 18 AWG ring terminals to ensure a full, gas-tight crimp. Do not solder over a crimp connection, as this can create a stress point and compromise the termination.
