3M 7010397387 Partially Insulated Ring Terminal 8 Awg

Product Description

The 3M 7010397387 is a partially insulated circular ring terminal designed for secure crimp connections in electrical wiring applications. The terminal accepts 8 AWG copper wire and features a copper contact with a nylon insulation sleeve that covers the barrel while leaving the ring exposed for bolt-down connections. The 5/16 inch stud size makes it compatible with standard lug mounting points found across panel boards, motor terminals, and grounding applications. This terminal ships in a package of 25 units. It is installed by licensed electricians and experienced electrical tradespeople working on commercial and residential wiring systems.

This ring terminal is suited for use in control panels, motor wiring, grounding circuits, and electrical distribution boards where a reliable mechanical and electrical connection is required. The crimp-style installation allows for fast, consistent terminations without soldering. The red nylon insulation sleeve provides visual wire gauge identification and strain relief at the barrel entry point, reducing the risk of insulation damage during and after installation.

Compatibility

Designed as a crimp-style ring terminal for 8 AWG copper wire with a 5/16 inch stud size, suitable for residential and commercial electrical panel, grounding, and motor wiring applications.

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 ratcheting crimp tool appropriate for insulated ring terminals to achieve a proper crimp that meets conductor pull-out force requirements. Avoid over-stripping the conductor insulation beyond the barrel depth to prevent exposed copper at the sleeve entry.
