Thomas Betts 54136 Square Ring Terminal 6 Awg 3/8 Inch Stud

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS 54136 is a non-insulated square ring terminal designed for compression-style wire termination in electrical wiring applications. It accommodates 6 AWG conductors and features a copper contact with a TiN (titanium nitride) plating for corrosion resistance and reliable conductivity. The terminal measures 1.41 inches in overall length and 0.6 inches in ring width, with a 3/8 inch stud size and a contact thickness of 0.07 inches. It is suited for use in panel wiring, grounding connections, and equipment terminations where a secure, low-resistance mechanical connection is required. Licensed electricians and electrical contractors install this type of terminal in commercial and industrial wiring work.

The 54136 square ring terminal is used in residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical installations where 6 AWG conductors must be terminated at a lug or stud connection. Its non-insulated design makes it appropriate for applications where the installer will apply separate insulation or sleeving, or where the termination point is housed within an enclosure. Typical install scenarios include panel boards, switchgear, grounding bars, and equipment bonding points. The 3/8 inch stud size accommodates common bus bar and terminal block fastener configurations.

Key Features

• Non-insulated square ring design for direct stud or lug termination
• Compression connection type for a secure, gas-tight crimp on 6 AWG wire
• Copper contact with TiN plating for corrosion resistance and extended service life
• 3/8 inch stud size fits standard bus bar and terminal block fasteners
• UL Listed, CSA Certified, and RoHS Compliant
• Compact profile at 1.41 inches long and 0.6 inches wide for use in tight enclosures

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression ring terminal for use with 6 AWG copper conductors and 3/8 inch stud termination points in standard electrical panel and equipment wiring applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. De-energize the circuit and verify absence of voltage before terminating any conductors. Use a calibrated compression crimping tool rated for the terminal size to achieve a proper gas-tight crimp — do not use pliers or uncalibrated tools as an alternate. Torque the ring terminal to the stud according to the equipment manufacturer's fastener specification.
