Thomas Betts 54282 Rectangle Ring Terminal Crimp Copper

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS 54282 is a non-insulated rectangle ring terminal designed for crimp connections in electrical wiring applications. Constructed with a copper contact and a titanium nitride (TiN) plating, it delivers reliable conductivity and corrosion resistance in demanding environments. The terminal measures 4.6 inches in overall length and 1.36 inches in ring width, with a material thickness of 0.18 inches. It accommodates a 1/2 inch stud size. Electricians and electrical contractors install this terminal type when terminating large conductors to bus bars, lugs, or bolted connection points in panel boards, switchgear, and industrial equipment.

This rectangle ring terminal is suited for commercial and industrial electrical installations where a secure, low-resistance bolted termination is required. Its non-insulated design makes it appropriate for applications where an insulated sleeve is not needed or where the connection point is housed within an enclosure. The red color coding aids in identification during installation and inspection. Licensed electricians performing service on distribution panels, motor control centers, or heavy equipment wiring are the primary installers of this terminal type.

Key Features

• Rectangle ring profile fits 1/2 inch stud hardware for a secure bolted termination
• Copper contact material provides high conductivity and reliable electrical performance
• Titanium nitride (TiN) contact plating enhances corrosion resistance and wear durability
• Non-insulated construction for use in enclosed or protected termination points
• CSA Certified, UL Listed (UL File E9809), and RoHS Compliant
• Red color coding supports fast visual identification during installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style crimp ring terminal for use with 1/2 inch stud electrical connections in commercial and industrial wiring applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC). De-energize and lock out the circuit before terminating any conductors. Use a calibrated ratchet crimp tool rated for the conductor gauge and terminal type to ensure a gas-tight crimp. Do not apply heat or solder to a crimp-only terminal, as this can degrade the mechanical and electrical integrity of the connection.
