Bramec 13442 Ring Terminal 22-18 Awg 8 Stud 100 Pack

Product Description

The BRAMEC 13442 is a vinyl-insulated ring terminal designed for secure, low-resistance wire-to-stud connections in electrical and HVAC control wiring applications. Rated for conductors from 22 AWG to 18 AWG, this terminal accepts a number 8 stud and provides a closed-ring lug that locks onto the fastener to prevent accidental disconnection. The vinyl insulation sleeve protects the crimp zone from abrasion and incidental contact. Each pack contains 100 terminals, making it a practical bench-stock item for service vans and shop inventory alike. Licensed electricians, HVAC technicians, and low-voltage control installers are the primary users of this terminal type.

This ring terminal is suited for use in residential and light commercial wiring tasks where 22 to 18 AWG conductors terminate at screw or bolt connections. Common applications include control board wiring, thermostat circuit connections, panel grounding lugs, and equipment bonding points. The number 8 stud size fits a wide range of terminal screws found on contactors, relays, junction blocks, and control enclosures. The 100-per-pack quantity supports ongoing service work without frequent reordering.

Key Features

• Accepts 22 AWG to 18 AWG conductors for versatile low-voltage and control wiring use
• Number 8 stud size fits common terminal screws on contactors, relays, and control boards
• Vinyl insulation sleeve protects the crimp barrel from abrasion and short-circuit risk
• Closed-ring lug design keeps the terminal secured to the stud even under vibration
• 100 terminals per pack supports high-volume service and installation work

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-style vinyl-insulated ring terminal for use with 22 to 18 AWG conductors and number 8 stud fasteners in electrical, HVAC, and low-voltage control wiring applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician or licensed HVAC technician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. De-energize the circuit completely before crimping and terminating any conductors. Use a proper ratcheting wire crimping tool sized for the 22-18 AWG range to achieve a gas-tight crimp. Do not solder over a crimped terminal, as this can wick solder into the conductor strands and create a rigid stress point prone to fatigue failure.
