3M 7010397418 Ring Terminal 16-14 Awg Crimp 1/4 in Stud 25 Pack

Product Description

The 3M 7010397418 is a partially insulated circular ring terminal designed for crimp-style wire connections in electrical wiring applications. It accommodates 16 to 14 AWG copper conductors and features a 1/4-inch stud hole for secure bolt-on termination. The blue heat-shrink insulation sleeve provides partial coverage over the barrel, protecting the connection point while allowing inspection of the crimp. Copper contact material ensures reliable conductivity. These terminals are sold in a pack of 25 and are a standard choice for panel wiring, equipment grounding, and general low-voltage circuit termination work performed by licensed electricians and experienced technicians.

These ring terminals are suited for residential and commercial electrical work where a reliable, code-compliant crimp termination is required. Common applications include control panel wiring, HVAC equipment connections, motor lead termination, and equipment grounding to threaded studs or binding posts. The 1/4-inch stud size fits standard terminal blocks, bus bars, and equipment chassis hardware. The blue color coding corresponds to the 16 to 14 AWG wire range, making it easy to identify the correct terminal size during assembly and inspection.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. De-energize the circuit completely before terminating any conductors. Use a ratcheting crimp tool rated for insulated ring terminals and the appropriate AWG range to ensure a full, mechanically sound crimp. Do not over-strip the conductor insulation, and verify the stud size matches the terminal before torquing the fastener.
