3M 7010397388 Ring Terminal 6 Awg Crimp 3/8 Inch Stud 25 Pack

Product Description

The 3M 7010397388 is a partially insulated circular ring terminal designed for crimped electrical connections on 6 AWG copper conductors. The terminal features a copper contact and a nylon insulation sleeve in blue, making polarity or circuit identification straightforward on the bench or in the panel. Rated for use where CSA and UL Listed compliance is required, this ring terminal is a standard choice for licensed electricians and panel technicians working on residential and commercial wiring, control panels, and equipment terminations. Each package contains 25 terminals.

This ring terminal is suited for applications requiring a secure, vibration-resistant crimp connection to a 3/8 inch stud. Typical installations include motor control centers, electrical enclosures, grounding lugs, and power distribution panels where 6 AWG wire is the specified conductor size. The blue color coding is consistent with common industry color conventions for this wire gauge range, aiding technicians during installation and inspection. It is appropriate for both new construction wiring and maintenance or replacement work in commercial and industrial environments.

Key Features

• Partially insulated nylon sleeve protects the barrel while leaving the ring exposed for secure stud contact
• Crimp connection type for fast, reliable termination without soldering
• Copper contact material provides low-resistance conductivity
• 3/8 inch stud size fits standard terminal blocks, bus bars, and grounding hardware
• Blue color coding for quick visual identification during installation and inspection
• UL Listed and CSA Certified for use in code-compliant electrical installations

Compatibility

Designed for use with 6 AWG copper conductors and 3/8 inch mounting studs. Suitable as a standard crimp ring terminal in electrical panels, motor control centers, grounding assemblies, and similar wiring applications.

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 or replacing any ring terminal. Use a calibrated ratcheting crimp tool sized for 6 AWG terminals to ensure a gas-tight, pull-resistant crimp. Inspect the insulation sleeve after crimping to confirm it has not cracked or shifted, which could expose bare conductor.
