Thomas Betts -17240-3-BD Ring Terminal 8 Awg 10

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS -17240-3-BD is a ring terminal designed for terminating 8 AWG wire to a number 10 stud. Ring terminals create a secure, low-resistance connection between a wire conductor and a threaded fastener or binding post. This type of terminal is installed by electricians and electrical tradespeople during panel wiring, equipment grounding, control circuit work, and general electrical assembly. The terminal is slipped over the stud and secured with a nut, providing a mechanically stable and electrically sound connection point. Proper crimping with a calibrated tool is required to achieve a reliable termination.

This ring terminal is suited for use in residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical work wherever 8 AWG conductors must be terminated to a number 10 threaded stud. Common applications include control panel wiring, grounding lugs, motor terminations, and equipment bonding. Each package contains one terminal, and the minimum order quantity is 5 units, making this item appropriate for stocking in service vehicles or shop inventory.

Key Features

• Accepts 8 AWG wire for a secure, low-resistance crimp termination
• Fits number 10 stud size for broad compatibility with standard fastener configurations
• Ring-style lug prevents the terminal from slipping off the stud during vibration or handling
• Compact form factor suitable for tight terminal blocks and control enclosures
• Sold individually per package; order in multiples of 5

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-use ring terminal for 8 AWG conductors terminated to number 10 stud connections in standard electrical and control wiring applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed electrician or qualified electrical technician. De-energize and lock out the circuit before terminating any conductors. Use a calibrated ratcheting crimp tool sized for 8 AWG terminals to ensure a proper mechanical and electrical crimp. Refer to applicable NEC requirements for conductor termination torque and lug installation in panel or equipment enclosures.
