Abb TV18-8R-XV Ring Terminal 22-18 Awg 8 Stud

Product Description

The ABB TV18-8R-XV is a ring terminal designed for secure, reliable wire-to-stud electrical connections in control wiring, panel wiring, and field termination applications. Rated for 22 to 18 AWG wire and compatible with a No. 8 stud, this terminal provides a low-resistance mechanical connection that stays seated under vibration and routine service conditions. Sold in a pack of 900, this terminal is well suited to contractors, electricians, and panel builders who terminate high volumes of control circuits and need consistent, repeatable connections at the lug.

Ring terminals in this AWG range are commonly used in low-voltage control panels, junction boxes, motor control centers, and HVAC equipment wiring harnesses. The 22-18 AWG range covers the light-gauge stranded conductors typical of thermostat wiring, sensor leads, and low-current control circuits. A 900-piece pack supports production panel shops and service contractors who work through high quantities on multi-unit jobs or ongoing service contracts.

Key Features

• Accepts 22 to 18 AWG wire for light-gauge control circuit terminations
• No. 8 stud size fits standard machine screws and terminal blocks used in control panel work
• Bulk pack of 900 pieces reduces per-unit cost for high-volume termination work
• Ring-style lug provides a captive, stud-mounted connection that resists pull-out

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use ring terminal for light-gauge control wiring applications accepting 22-18 AWG conductors and a No. 8 stud fastener.

Installation Notes

Ring terminals of this type are installed by licensed electricians and qualified control panel technicians. Always de-energize and lock out the circuit before terminating or inspecting any connection. Use a calibrated ratcheting crimper sized for the wire gauge being terminated — open-barrel crimpers and incorrect die sets produce unreliable connections. Follow applicable NEC requirements for wire gauge, termination method, and conductor insulation in the installation environment.
