Abb 18RA-8 Insulated Ring Terminal 22-18 Awg

Product Description

The ABB 18RA-8 is an insulated ring terminal designed for making secure, vibration-resistant electrical connections in wire termination applications. It accepts wire sizes in the 22 to 18 AWG range and features an insulated barrel to protect the conductor and reduce the risk of shorts or incidental contact at the termination point. Ring terminals of this type are used by electricians and electrical assemblers wherever a bolt-down or stud connection is required. The insulated construction keeps the connection clean and isolated, making it suitable for panel wiring, control cabinets, and similar enclosed electrical assemblies.

This ring terminal is appropriate for use in residential, commercial, and light industrial wiring applications where 22 to 18 AWG conductors need a reliable stud or screw termination. Typical installations include control panels, terminal strips, low-voltage wiring harnesses, and equipment panels that require organized, insulated wire terminations. Electrical contractors, panel builders, and maintenance electricians use ring terminals like the 18RA-8 when a secure, permanent lug connection is specified.

Key Features

• Accepts 22 to 18 AWG wire range for versatile low-voltage wiring applications
• Insulated barrel construction reduces risk of accidental shorts at the termination point
• Ring-style lug provides a bolt-down or stud connection that resists pull-out and vibration
• Compact form factor suited for use in control panels and terminal strip assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as a standard insulated ring terminal for use with 22 to 18 AWG conductors in general electrical wiring, control panel, and low-voltage termination applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed electrician or qualified electrical assembler. De-energize the circuit and verify zero voltage before terminating any conductor. Use a calibrated ratcheting crimping tool rated for insulated terminals to ensure a gas-tight crimp; do not use pliers or uncalibrated tools. Follow applicable NEC requirements for wire gauge, terminal sizing, and panel wiring methods.
