3M 7100164984 Ring Terminal 22-18 Awg Crimp 1/4 Stud Red 100pk

Product Description

The 3M 7100164984 is a partially insulated circular ring terminal designed for secure crimp connections on 22 to 18 AWG copper wire. The copper contact and vinyl insulation sleeve deliver reliable electrical continuity in control wiring, panel builds, and low-voltage field connections. At 1.08 inches in overall length and 0.47 inches in ring width, this terminal fits a 1/4-inch stud and is color-coded red for fast, code-consistent wire gauge identification. Electricians and panel technicians install these terminals during control circuit assembly, equipment termination, and wire harness fabrication. This listing covers a package of 100 terminals.

This ring terminal is suited for residential and commercial electrical applications where 22 to 18 AWG conductors terminate at screw or stud connections. Typical use cases include HVAC control boards, low-voltage thermostat wiring, electrical panels, motor control centers, and general-purpose wiring harnesses. The red color coding aligns with the industry standard for 22 to 18 AWG wire range, making polarity and gauge verification straightforward during installation and inspection.

Compatibility

Designed for use with 22 to 18 AWG copper conductors and 1/4-inch mounting studs. Suitable as a general-purpose ring terminal in residential and commercial electrical, HVAC control wiring, and panel termination applications.

Installation Notes

Electricians and HVAC technicians install ring terminals using a ratcheting or standard crimping tool rated for the applicable wire gauge — verify the tool die matches the terminal barrel size before crimping. De-energize all circuits and confirm zero voltage with a meter before terminating any conductors. Strip wire insulation to the depth specified by the crimp tool manufacturer and seat the conductor fully in the barrel before applying the crimp. Work performed in permanent electrical installations must comply with applicable NEC requirements for wire termination and insulation integrity.
