3M 7010397416 Ring Terminal 12-10 Awg 1/4 in Crimp 25 Pack

Product Description

The 3M 7010397416 is a partially insulated circular ring terminal designed for crimp connections on 12 to 10 AWG copper conductors. The terminal features a heat shrink insulation sleeve in yellow for quick wire gauge identification on the job. The copper contact delivers solid conductivity and resists corrosion in typical electrical panel and equipment wiring applications. This terminal suits licensed electricians and skilled trades workers who need a reliable, code-acceptable termination on branch circuits, control wiring, or equipment grounding conductors. Each package contains 25 terminals. The 1/4 inch stud size fits a wide range of lug mounting points in electrical enclosures and motor termination blocks.

This ring terminal is suited for residential and light commercial electrical work, including panel wiring, motor control centers, HVAC equipment connections, and general equipment grounding. The 12 to 10 AWG range covers common branch circuit and control wiring sizes. The partial insulation design allows visual inspection of the conductor after crimping while still providing insulation coverage along the barrel. Installers working in tight enclosures will find the low-profile ring tongue easy to position on terminal studs before fastening.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard crimp ring terminal for use with 12 to 10 AWG copper conductors and 1/4 inch mounting studs in electrical panels, motor terminations, and equipment grounding 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 making any terminations. Use a calibrated ratchet crimping tool rated for the terminal barrel size to achieve a proper crimp — hand-tightening or non-rated tools can result in a failed connection. Inspect the barrel after crimping to confirm full conductor insertion before securing the ring to the stud.
