Measuring 2.78 inches in overall length and 0.59 inches in ring width, this terminal provides a secure, low-profile mechanical termination point for heavy-gauge wiring applications. The copper contact body features a titanium nitride (TiN) plating that resists corrosion and wear at the contact surface. At 0.11 inches in barrel thickness, the terminal delivers solid wall strength for reliable long-term conductivity. Electricians and maintenance technicians use this terminal where a permanent, uninsulated lug is required at panel connections, bus bars, or equipment grounding points.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis terminal is suited for commercial and industrial electrical installations where 2 AWG conductors must be terminated at a 5\/16-inch stud. Common applications include switchgear assemblies, motor control centers, grounding conductors, and power distribution panels. The rectangle ring configuration seats flat against terminal blocks or mounting hardware, resisting rotation during fastener torque. The brown color coding assists in conductor size identification during installation and inspection. It is intended for use by licensed electricians working on fixed wiring systems in both new construction and retrofit projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNon-insulated copper body with TiN plating for corrosion and wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompression connection type for a gas-tight, vibration-resistant crimp\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAccepts 2 AWG conductors with a 5\/16-inch stud hole\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRectangle ring design prevents rotation on stud during tightening\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRoHS compliant construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrown color coding for quick AWG size identification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style compression ring terminal for 2 AWG copper conductors terminating at 5\/16-inch studs in residential, commercial, and industrial electrical applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC requirements for the applicable wiring system. De-energize and lock out the circuit before terminating or removing any ring terminal. Use a calibrated compression crimping tool rated for the conductor gauge and terminal series to achieve a proper gas-tight crimp. Do not over-torque the stud fastener beyond the hardware manufacturer's specification for the 5\/16-inch mounting stud.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTerminal Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Rectangle Ring\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsulation Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Non-Insulated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Compression\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Wire Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 AWG\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStud Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContact Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Copper\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContact Plating\u003c\/strong\u003e: TiN (Titanium Nitride)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.78 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRing Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.59 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBarrel Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.11 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brown\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: RoHS Compliant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: THOMAS BETTS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 54856BE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"THOMAS \u0026 BETTS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51538445664562,"sku":"54856BE","price":42.63,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/e4238e99a70af76fb50b8036cc008508.jpg?v=1785824698","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/thomas-betts-54856be-rectangle-ring-terminal-2-awg","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
