Panduit PV14-12R-L Vinyl Insulated Ring Terminal

Product Description

The PANDUIT PV14-12R-L is a vinyl-insulated ring terminal designed for secure, reliable wire-to-stud electrical connections. Ring terminals in this style are used to terminate a stranded or solid conductor and fasten it under a screw or bolt head, providing a stable mechanical and electrical connection. The vinyl insulation sleeve protects the barrel and crimped conductor from abrasion, moisture, and incidental contact. This part is sold as a single unit and is a standard hardware accessory used by electricians and electrical maintenance technicians in panel wiring, equipment grounding, and field termination work.

Vinyl-insulated ring terminals like the PV14-12R-L are commonly installed in residential and light commercial electrical applications. Typical use cases include control panel wiring, motor lead terminations, grounding connections, and general equipment hookups where a looped terminal must seat under a fastener. The part number designation indicates a 14 AWG wire range and a No. 12 stud size, making it appropriate for standard branch-circuit and control-wiring termination work.

Key Features

• Vinyl insulation sleeve provides abrasion and moisture resistance at the termination point
• Ring-style tongue seats securely under a screw or bolt head for a vibration-resistant connection
• Designed for 14 AWG conductors based on part number designation
• No. 12 stud size accommodates standard machine screws and bolts
• Single-piece construction simplifies inventory and field use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style ring terminal for use with 14 AWG wire on No. 12 stud fasteners in standard electrical termination applications.

Installation Notes

Ring terminals are installed by licensed electricians or qualified electrical technicians. De-energize the circuit and verify zero voltage with a meter before terminating any conductor. Use a proper ratchet-style crimping tool rated for vinyl-insulated terminals to achieve a secure, gas-tight crimp. Do not solder over a crimped vinyl-insulated terminal, as heat can damage the insulation sleeve.
