3M 7010397386 Ring Terminal 8 Awg 3/8 in Crimp 25 Pack

Product Description

The 3M 7010397386 is a partially insulated circular ring terminal designed for crimped wire connections in electrical wiring applications. The terminal features a copper contact with a nylon insulation sleeve and accepts 8 AWG wire. The 3/8 inch stud size suits standard lug and fastener hardware used in panel wiring, equipment grounding, and power distribution work. Electricians and electrical contractors use this terminal in residential, commercial, and light industrial installations where a secure, code-compliant ring lug connection is required. Each package contains 25 terminals.

This ring terminal is suited for use in fixed wiring assemblies, control panels, switchgear terminations, and general electrical hookups where an 8 AWG conductor must be landed on a 3/8 inch stud or screw. The red nylon insulation provides visual identification consistent with standard color coding for the 8 AWG wire range. The crimp connection method is compatible with standard ratchet-style or hexagonal crimp tools. Partially insulated construction allows inspection of the conductor barrel after crimping.

Key Features

• Partially insulated nylon sleeve for conductor barrel protection and visual wire-range identification
• Copper contact material for reliable conductivity and corrosion resistance in wiring applications
• Crimp connection type compatible with standard 8 AWG crimp tooling
• 3/8 inch stud size fits common panel hardware and grounding lugs
• UL Listed and CSA Certified for use in code-governed electrical installations
• RoHS 2011/65/EU compliant construction

Compatibility

Designed for use with 8 AWG copper conductors and 3/8 inch mounting studs or screws in crimp-terminated electrical assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. De-energize and lock out the circuit before terminating any conductors. Use a calibrated ratchet crimp tool rated for 8 AWG ring terminals to ensure a full, gas-tight crimp. Do not solder over a crimped connection, as this can introduce brittleness at the barrel and void the listing.
