3M 7100164150 Ring Tongue Terminal 8 Awg 3/8 Inch Stud

Product Description

The 3M 7100164150 is a non-insulated ring tongue terminal designed for secure, permanent electrical connections in demanding trade applications. Built with a brazed seam construction, this terminal accepts 8 AWG wire and fits a 3/8 inch stud. The ring tongue style fully encircles the mounting stud, preventing accidental disconnection unless the fastener is deliberately removed. Electricians and panel technicians rely on this terminal type where connection reliability under vibration or mechanical stress is required. It is sold individually but typically sourced in case quantities of 200.

This terminal suits residential, commercial, and light industrial wiring tasks where a non-insulated, bare metal ring lug is appropriate. Common applications include panel grounding, equipment bonding, motor lead terminations, and bus bar connections. The 3/8 inch stud size accommodates standard machine screw and bolt hardware found in electrical enclosures, junction boxes, and motor connection points. Installers working with 8 AWG copper conductors will find this a direct-fit solution for those termination points.

Key Features

• Ring tongue style fully encircles stud — connection cannot be removed without unthreading the fastener
• Brazed seam barrel construction for a strong, consistent crimp zone
• Non-insulated design for use where separate sleeving or insulation is applied, or none is required
• Accepts 8 AWG wire
• 3/8 inch stud size fits standard hardware used in electrical panels and equipment

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style ring tongue terminal for 8 AWG conductors terminating at 3/8 inch stud fasteners in standard electrical enclosures and equipment.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed electricians or qualified tradespeople in accordance with NEC guidelines for wire terminations. De-energize the circuit and verify zero voltage with a meter before terminating any conductor. Use a calibrated ratcheting crimp tool rated for the AWG and terminal type to ensure a gas-tight crimp. Do not solder over a crimped connection unless the terminal is specifically rated for that process.
