Thomas Betts 17063-BD Ring Terminal 1 Awg Copper

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS 17063-BD is a ring terminal designed for terminating 1 AWG copper wire in electrical connections. The contact is made from copper with a titanium nitride (TiN) plating, which improves corrosion resistance and contact integrity at the connection point. This terminal provides a secure, low-resistance mechanical and electrical connection between a conductor and a lug, bus bar, or stud. It is a standard component in panel wiring, equipment grounding, and power distribution work across residential, commercial, and industrial electrical applications. Licensed electricians and panel technicians install this type of terminal as part of properly rated terminations under NEC guidelines.

This ring terminal is suited for applications requiring a reliable crimp termination on 1 AWG wire. Typical uses include grounding connections, service entrance wiring, and heavy-gauge branch circuit terminations where a ring-style lug is required. It is appropriate for use in switchgear, motor control centers, residential and commercial electrical panels, and similar electrical enclosures where 1 AWG conductors are terminated to studs or screws.

Key Features

• Compatible with 1 AWG wire for precise, code-compliant terminations
• Copper contact material ensures strong conductivity and reliable crimp performance
• Titanium nitride (TiN) plating improves corrosion resistance and long-term connection integrity
• Ring-style lug design secures conductor to stud, screw, or bus bar terminal point

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style crimp ring terminal for use with 1 AWG copper wire in standard electrical termination applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed electricians. De-energize and lock out the circuit before terminating any conductors. Use a properly rated ratcheting crimp tool sized for 1 AWG terminals to achieve a full, inspectable crimp. Verify torque specifications for the destination stud or lug per the equipment manufacturer and applicable NEC requirements before tightening.
