3M 7010397380 Ring Terminal 12-10 Awg Crimp 50 Pack

Product Description

The 3M 7010397380 is a partially insulated circular ring terminal designed for secure crimp connections on 12 to 10 AWG copper wire. The terminal features a copper contact and a vinyl insulation sleeve in yellow, making it easy to identify at a glance during panel wiring or field installations. At 1.03 inches in overall length and 0.38 inches in ring width, this terminal fits a No. 10 stud and delivers a low-profile, mechanically solid termination. It is suited for electricians and panel builders who need a reliable, code-compliant lug in high-volume production or service work.

This ring terminal is used in residential and light commercial electrical applications including control panels, motor terminations, and equipment wiring. The No. 10 stud size fits common screw terminals found on HVAC controls, motor junction boxes, and electrical distribution equipment. Each package contains 50 terminals, making it practical for both service kits and production runs where consistent, inspectable terminations are required.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or qualified technician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. De-energize the circuit completely before terminating or inspecting connections. Use a calibrated ratcheting crimp tool appropriate for the terminal and wire gauge to ensure a gas-tight crimp. Inspect the insulation sleeve after crimping to confirm it has not cracked or shifted, which can indicate an improper crimp or mismatched tool die.
