Ideal 83-2231 Ring Terminal 16-14 Awg Crimp Stud 8 25 Pack

Product Description

The IDEAL 83-2231 is a partially insulated circular ring terminal designed for crimp-style wire termination on 16 to 14 AWG conductors. The terminal body measures 0.858 inches long and 0.394 inches wide, with a brass contact plated in TiN (titanium nitride) for corrosion resistance and reliable conductivity. The blue vinyl insulation sleeve provides visual identification of the compatible wire gauge range and partial coverage for the barrel. Sold in packs of 25, the 83-2231 is suited for electricians and control-panel technicians who need a consistent, code-compliant ring terminal for screw or stud terminations in panels, equipment, and enclosures.

This ring terminal is intended for use with a No. 8 stud in residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical applications. Typical install scenarios include control panel wiring, equipment grounding, and circuit terminations in HVAC systems, electrical enclosures, and similar low-voltage or branch-circuit wiring environments. The 16 to 14 AWG wire size range corresponds to 1.50 to 2.50 square millimeters, covering common wire sizes used in control and power wiring. The blue color coding aligns with industry-standard color conventions for this gauge range.

Key Features

• Blue vinyl partial insulation for gauge identification and barrel protection
• Fits No. 8 stud (4.30 mm) for versatile panel and equipment use
• cUL Listed, UL Listed, and RoHS Compliant
• Pack of 25 terminals per package

Compatibility

Designed as a crimp ring terminal for 16 to 14 AWG (1.50 to 2.50 sq mm) wire with a No. 8 stud size, suitable for standard screw and stud termination points in electrical panels and equipment enclosures.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. Disconnect and lock out power to the circuit before making any terminations. Use a calibrated ratchet crimp tool rated for the terminal and wire gauge to ensure a secure, gas-tight crimp. Do not over-strip wire insulation beyond the barrel depth, and inspect the completed crimp for proper seating before restoring power.
