3M 7010397385 Ring Terminal 12-10 Awg Crimp No. 8 Stud 50 Pack

Product Description

The 3M 7010397385 is a partially insulated circular ring terminal designed for crimp-style wire termination in electrical wiring applications. It accepts 12 to 10 AWG copper wire and terminates onto a No. 8 stud. The nylon insulation sleeve provides partial protection at the barrel while keeping the ring lug exposed for secure fastening. Contact material is copper, and the yellow color coding signals the correct wire gauge range at a glance. Electricians and panel technicians use these terminals when making permanent, vibration-resistant connections to equipment terminals, bus bars, and control components. Each package contains 50 pieces.

This ring terminal suits residential and light commercial electrical work, control panel assembly, and equipment wiring where a reliable mechanical and electrical crimp connection is required. The No. 8 stud size fits a wide range of terminal screws found on motor starters, disconnect blocks, and grounding points. Professionals working under NEC requirements will find these terminals compatible with standard ratchet or hex crimp tooling appropriate for insulated ring terminals in the 12 to 10 AWG range.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. De-energize and lock out the circuit before terminating any conductors. Use a calibrated ratchet crimping tool rated for insulated ring terminals in the 12 to 10 AWG range to ensure a proper crimp that meets pull-force requirements. Do not use pliers or non-ratcheting tools as a substitute for a dedicated wire terminal crimper.
