Import RTLW-14T-15 D Ring Terminal 16-14 Awg Brass

Product Description

The IMPORT RTLW-14T-15 is a non-insulated, D-shaped ring terminal designed for secure electrical connections in control wiring, panel builds, and field wiring applications. It accepts 16 to 14 AWG conductors and terminates to a 1/4-inch stud. The contact is made from brass with a TiN (titanium nitride) plating, which provides corrosion resistance and maintains conductivity at the mating surface. This terminal is suitable for use in HVAC control circuits, electrical panels, and general low-voltage wiring where a bare, uninsulated ring lug is specified. Electricians and HVAC technicians install these in applications where insulated sleeves are unnecessary or where heat-shrink is applied separately after crimping.

This terminal is well suited for residential and light commercial electrical and HVAC work. It fits into typical panel wiring scenarios where ring-tongue terminations are required at grounding studs, bus bars, or equipment terminals. The D-shaped barrel provides consistent wire alignment during crimping. It is sold individually as a single piece but carries a minimum order quantity of 25 units, making it appropriate for stocking in service vehicles or shop inventory.

Key Features

• D-shaped barrel aligns wire consistently during the crimp cycle
• Accepts 16 to 14 AWG conductors for versatile wiring applications
• Brass contact material with TiN plating for corrosion resistance
• Non-insulated design for use where separate insulation or heat-shrink is applied
• 1/4-inch stud size fits standard equipment terminals and grounding points

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style ring terminal for general electrical and HVAC control wiring applications accepting 16 to 14 AWG conductors at 1/4-inch stud terminations.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed electricians or HVAC technicians following applicable NEC guidelines. De-energize and lockout the circuit before terminating any conductors. Use a calibrated ratcheting crimp tool rated for the barrel size to ensure a gas-tight crimp. Do not solder after crimping on a bare terminal unless the application specifically calls for it, as this can cause wicking and brittleness in the conductor.
