3M 7010397419 Ring Terminal 16-14 Awg Crimp Stud 8

Product Description

The 3M 7010397419 is a partially insulated circular ring terminal designed for crimp-style wire terminations on 16 to 14 AWG copper conductors. The terminal features a heat-shrink insulation sleeve in blue and a copper contact barrel, making it well suited for secure, low-resistance connections in control wiring, panel work, and general electrical assemblies. Each unit is sold in packages of 25 and is sized for a number 8 stud. Licensed electricians, HVAC controls technicians, and panel builders use this terminal type when terminating stranded or solid copper wire to threaded fasteners on equipment, junction points, or terminal blocks.

This ring terminal is appropriate for residential and light commercial electrical work, HVAC low-voltage control circuits, and industrial panel assemblies wherever a no-pull-out ring connection is required. The number 8 stud size suits a wide range of standard screw terminals found on control boards, motor leads, and grounding points. The blue color coding corresponds to the 16 to 14 AWG wire range, simplifying identification during installation and inspection. No specific model or system compatibility was stated by the manufacturer for this SKU.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style ring terminal for 16 to 14 AWG stranded or solid copper wire applications requiring a number 8 stud termination in electrical, HVAC controls, or panel wiring installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or qualified technician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. De-energize the circuit completely before terminating any conductors. Use a calibrated ratchet crimping tool rated for the wire gauge and terminal type to ensure a gas-tight crimp — do not substitute pliers or non-rated tools. Inspect the heat-shrink sleeve after crimping to confirm full insulation coverage over the barrel.
