Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS -17214-5-BD is a ring terminal designed for use with 1 AWG wire and a 5/16-inch stud size. Ring terminals provide a secure, low-resistance electrical connection between a conductor and a threaded fastener or bus stud. This terminal is installed by licensed electricians and electrical contractors in panel wiring, grounding applications, battery connections, and heavy-gauge circuit terminations where a reliable mechanical and electrical bond is required.

This ring terminal is suited for residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical installations where 1 AWG conductors require a terminated connection to a stud, lug, or bus bar. Common applications include grounding electrode conductors, service entrance wiring, battery bank connections, and inverter or transfer switch terminations. Each package contains one terminal, and the minimum order quantity is 5 units.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement ring terminal for use with 1 AWG conductors and 5/16-inch stud termination points in standard electrical panel and wiring applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC). De-energize and lock out the circuit before terminating any conductor. Crimp the terminal using a ratcheting or hydraulic crimping tool rated for 1 AWG terminals to ensure a proper mechanical and electrical connection. Do not rely on solder alone as a substitute for a proper crimp.
