3M 7010397381 Ring Terminal 12-10 Awg Crimp 50 Pack

Product Description

The 3M 7010397381 is a partially insulated circular ring terminal designed for crimp-style wire termination on 12 to 10 AWG copper conductors. The terminal body is copper with a vinyl insulation sleeve in yellow, making it easy to identify by gauge range during installation. At 1.26 inches in overall length and 0.53 inches in ring width, it accepts a 1/4-inch stud. This terminal is used by electricians and low-voltage technicians to create secure, permanent connections at terminal blocks, bus bars, grounding points, and equipment lugs. It meets UL and CSA certification requirements and is RoHS compliant.

This ring terminal is suited for residential and commercial electrical work, panel wiring, equipment grounding, and control panel assembly. The yellow color coding identifies the 12 to 10 AWG wire range at a glance, which reduces the risk of mismatched terminations in multi-gauge installations. Licensed electricians and industrial technicians commonly use this terminal when terminating conductors at screw-type studs. The crimp connection provides a gas-tight mechanical bond when applied with the correct ratcheting or die-set crimping tool.

Key Features

• Copper contact for reliable conductivity and corrosion resistance
• Crimp connection type for fast, repeatable, gas-tight terminations
• Fits 1/4-inch stud size — compatible with standard terminal blocks and equipment lugs
• UL Listed, CSA Certified, and RoHS 2011 EU Compliant
• Sold in a 50-piece package with a minimum order quantity of 1

Compatibility

Designed for use with 12 to 10 AWG copper conductors and 1/4-inch mounting studs. Suitable for standard terminal blocks, grounding lugs, and bus bar connections in residential and commercial electrical applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC requirements. De-energize the circuit and verify absence of voltage before making any termination. Use a calibrated ratcheting crimp tool with the correct die set for the 12 to 10 AWG range to achieve a proper crimp — do not use pliers or non-rated tools as an incomplete crimp can result in a high-resistance connection or pull-out failure. Inspect the insulation sleeve after crimping to confirm it is not cracked or displaced.
