3M 7010397382 Ring Terminal 12-10 Awg Crimp 3/8 Stud 50 Pack

Product Description

The 3M 7010397382 is a partially insulated circular ring terminal designed for crimp-style wire terminations on copper conductors. It accepts 12 to 10 AWG wire and connects to 3/8 inch stud sizes, making it a reliable choice for panel wiring, equipment grounding, and general electrical termination work. The copper contact material ensures solid conductivity, while the yellow vinyl insulation sleeve provides partial protection at the barrel end. At 1.26 inches overall length and 0.53 inches ring width, the terminal fits standard lug positions without interference. Licensed electricians and experienced electrical technicians are the primary installers of this component.

This ring terminal is suited for residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical applications where 12 to 10 AWG conductors require a secure, code-compliant lug connection. Typical install scenarios include control panel wiring, grounding runs, motor connection points, and electrical enclosure terminations. Each package contains 50 terminals, making it practical for job-lot purchasing on larger wiring projects. The yellow color coding aligns with standard industry identification for the 12 to 10 AWG wire range, helping technicians sort and verify terminations quickly on the bench or in the field.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style crimp ring terminal for use with 12 to 10 AWG copper wire on 3/8 inch studs in standard electrical termination applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC). De-energize and lock out the circuit before beginning any termination work. Use a calibrated ratcheting crimp tool rated for the wire gauge and terminal type to achieve a secure, gas-tight crimp. Do not attempt to solder over a crimped connection, as this can introduce brittleness at the barrel joint.
